This work begins by demonstrating the plausibility of a "Marxist ethics" in general and then proceeds to work out an understanding of moral character and its role in living a "good life", based on a historical, materialist, philosophical anthropology.

This is a fascinating examination of the relationship between consumption, the idea of the body and the formation of the self. In tracing these connections, The Consuming Body develops a profile of individuality in the late twentieth century - in both its bodily and mental aspects.

This work suggests that black colleges and universities need to respond to some of the pressures for reform in population diversification if they are to survive successfully in the competitive and economically stressed education environment of the 21st century.

Competing in risky business ventures, these women were remarkable for defying societal norms that rest...

Relations between schools and the working world are changing all the time and the implementation of ideas of vocationalism has forced a blurring of the time-honored boundaries between educations concerned with concepts and training and those concerned with skills.
