 | A Critique of Moral Knowledge by Ralph McInerny, Yves R. Simon
Yves R. Simon's first book, Critique de la Connaissance Morale, was originally published in 1934. An English version of this book has long been wanted, and here finally it is. Not only does this work put us at the dawn of Simon's career, it is a fundamental contribution to moral philosophy. It starts at the beginning and goes on from there and if it does not attempt to reach the end we are struck by the clarity and order of the discussion. An understanding of this little book is essential for an orientation in Simon's work in moral and political philosophy. A Critique of Moral Knowledge addresses a number of fundamental problems; How does moral knowledge differ from other practical knowledge. What is the relationship between the moral sense (Simon's tern for synderesis), moral philosophy, and the cognition embedded in action? Is politics part of moral philosophy or a neutral technique?

 | The Reckoning by Randall Robinson
In THE RECKONING, Randall Robinson examines the crime and poverty that grips much of urban America and urges black Americans to speak out and reach back to ensure their social and economic success in this country. With insight, compassion, and unflinching honesty, Robinson explores the twin blights of crime and povertythe former often a symptom of the latterand asks questions that are critical to the rebuilding of black communities: How do we create awareness of the heroic efforts already being made and how can we bring our troubled youth to safety? A product of Robinsons work with gang members, ex-convicts, and others who have been scarred by the harshness of life in our inner cities, THE RECKONING is certain to be as important and controversial as his earlier books.
