A cornerstone of Sartre’s philosophy, The Imaginary was first published in 1940. Sartre had become acquainted with thephilosophy of Edmund Husserl in Berlin and was fascinated by hisidea of the 'intentionality of consciousness' as a key to thepuzzle of existence. Against this background, TheImaginary crystallized Sartre's worldview and artistic vision.The book is an extended examination of the concepts of nothingnessand freedom, both of which are derived from the ability ofconsciousness to imagine objects both as they are and as they arenot – ideas that would drive Sartre's existentialism and entiretheory of human freedom.

Susan Neiman is a moral philosopher committed to making thetools of her trade relevant to real life. In "Moral Clarity, "sheshows how resurrecting a moral vocabulary--"good "and "evil,heroism "and "nobility"--can steer us clear of the dogmas of theright and the helpless pragmatism of the left. In search of aframework for forming clear opinions and taking responsible actionon today's urgent political and social questions, Neiman reachesback to the eighteenth century, retrieving a set ofvirtues--happiness, reason, reverence, and hope--that were heldhigh by every Enlightenment thinker. She shows that the pursuit ofmoral clarity is not a matter of religious faith but is open to allwho are committed to these ideals, believers and nonbelieversalike. And she draws on literature, evolutionarytheory, and othercontemporary research to show why, by keeping before us thedistinction between the real and the possible, these idealscontinue to guide and inspire.

Conceived originally as a serious presentation of thedevelopment of philosophy for Catholic seminary students, FrederickCopleston's nine-volume A History Of Philosophy has journeyed farbeyond the modest purpose of its author to universal acclaim as thebest history of philosophy in English. Copleston, an Oxford Jesuit of immense erudition who once tangledwith A.J. Ayer in a fabled debate about the existence of God andthe possibility of metaphysics, knew that seminary students werefed a woefully inadequate diet of theses and proofs, and that theirfamiliarity with most of history's great thinkers was reduced tosimplistic caricatures. Copleston set out to redress thewrong by writing a complete history of Western Philosophy, onecrackling with incident and intellectual excitement - and one thatgives full place to each thinker, presenting his thought in abeautifully rounded manner and showing his links to those who wentbefore and to those who came after him.
