Hans Jonas was a philosopher who looked nihilism in the eye and courageously stood his ground. He did so by volunteering to
serve against the Nazis in World War II, by discovering the links to nihilism in his thought of his teacher Martin Heidegger
and by developing a novel philosophy of nature that took its lessons from both Aristotle and Darwin. Jonas’s philosophy of
organic nature – his rehabilitation of the soul as a relevant notion for biology – provided prescient insights for the still
developing fields of bioethics and environmental ethics.

Whatever else the 2008 presidential election may result in, we can be sure that it will only contribute further to the steadily
declining role of political parties in American politics, and the myriad negative consequences arising from that decline.

Non-marital cohabitation has become widespread in modern, Western nations. It has led to dramatic declines in marriage rates
and contributed to high levels of unwed births and lone-parent families, thus negatively affecting child wellbeing.

Women advance more rapidly in the appointive executive and judicial branches than in the elected legislative branch at both
national and state levels. Demand side and supply side factors explain much of this. In particular, greater male variability
restricts the opportunity for gender equity.

A law school dean, a university president, a scholarly judge, and the head of the Foreign Ministry division in charge of Chile’s
frontiers agree: The Constitution of 1980 was the initial turning point in Chile’s transition from autocracy to pluralism.

Conservative, and particularly religious opponents of enhancement technologies and of prolonging life indefinitely face formidable
challenges from policymakers who are largely liberated from any forms of Christian moral consensus. This is the predicament
of Daniel Callahan and others who are unable to translate their inescapably religious objections in secular terms.

The situations of nineteenth century dock workers and today’s immigrant day laborers bear striking similarities and challenges,
especially for those seeking to organize them into labor unions. The obstacles confronting such organizing efforts also underscore
the legitimate concerns many Americans have about the threats to social order posed by immigrants today.

In the 1940s, leading public intellectuals established a commission to reform the American press. Many of them initially favored
heavy regulation of newspapers and other media. Though the men failed to change the press, their report lives on in schools
of journalism.

Getting to peace is not a straightforward process. In Uganda, internal conflict has raged for more than 20 years between the
Government and the Lord’s Resistance Army. The construction of a comprehensive negotiated settlement is at the mercy of conflicting
ideologies and influences at the international, national and grassroots levels. This paper examines the Juba peace talks,
the major actors in the negotiation process, and tension between prosecution and amnesty.

Karl Popper’s equation of the closed society with tribalism is reviewed and modified. The German origins of the anthropological
concept of culture and its related ideas of the folk culture and cultural relativism are explored. The vicissitudes of the
idea of The Folk and its swing from Right to Left are related to contemporary neo-primitivism. The open society and high culture
are defended.

The interdependence of etiquette consumers and producers makes the contemporary etiquette guide a book of rules informed by
realism rather than one etched from the behavior of the comfortable. While the acquisition of good manners facilitates comfort
and mobility, the yardstick of behavior, like the measure of standard language, evolves with the times and thus is never a
mere instrument of conformity.

In the 1970s, social psychologists conducted numerous studies analyzing physical appearance as a social variable. More recent
studies in the social sciences appear to have abandoned this topic as unimportant; in any case, very few social scientific
studies have been found that incorporate a measure of attractiveness into their analyses. The present study seeks to revive
the emphasis on physical attractiveness as a social variable by testing the relationship between crime severity and physical
attractiveness, i.e., by presenting evidence to suggest that physically unattractive men commit more serious offenses.

Critics of the concept fail to note that staged authenticity is not authenticity but its opposite or negation. This error is illustrated referencing Ed Bruner’s reading of The Tourist in his recent book Culture on Tour.

The American approach to secularism is distinctive, differing from the laicite of the French or the Turks in its greater friendliness
to the public expression of religious beliefs and sentiments. Such arrangements are challenging to sustain, requiring constant
renegotiation of acceptable boundaries, but may also provide a more fruitful way of drawing on the moral energies and insights
of religion while keeping them contained within appropriate limits.

The 2008 presidential election will be significant both for domestic and for foreign policy. Issues of security in domestic
policy will continue to trump issues of freedom. The difficulties of resolving our military presence in Iraq will be the first
among many important issues the new administration must confront. In both domestic and foreign affairs the new administration
will have to deal with the unanticipated consequences of inherited policies even as it creates its own agenda and its own
set of unintended consequences.

This article identifies the shortcomings of “orthodox neo-Darwinians” such as Richard Dawkins, George Williams and Daniel
Dennett in their efforts to describe human nature and human pro-social behavior. As an alternative to the views of these thinkers,
the efforts of Peter Richerson, Robert Boyd, and other “dual inheritance” theorists to describe the evolution of human nature
are also characterized. It is argued that dual inheritance theorists have surpassed the orthodox neo-Darwinians in their explanations
for very important and uniquely human features such as our extensive sociability, complex cumulative culture and morality.

This essay examines the viability of a publically held, articulated, and enacted bioethic in America's democratic regime.
The essay takes the writings of several thinkers associated with the President's Council on Bioethics as its point of departure.
The essay draws attention to some of the enduring moral, political, religious, and intellectual currents inherent in American
civil society that will continue to provide both resources for and obstacles to any publicly held bioethic in America.
