The Dark Knight and the Puppet Master

Clarke, Chris

History

Penguin

This book collects the posts of a blog that Chris Clarke maintained from summer 2016 until his death in March 2019, in which he set out to explore the themes of 'Wisdom' and 'Isness'. What he meant by 'isness' is the theme that is expanded throughout the book, but a thing's isness is the essence of what it is for itself. As his health failed, what became very profound about these reflections is the way he reflected on each moment and experience for itself, searching deeply for the isness of each moment with no quest for a connecting narrative.

Have you thought about chucking it all and heading out there? Here are the stories, the recipes and the pictures of my trip around the world. Food is personal. So let's do just that, by sharing the tale of my almost year-long, journey. Stories of and recipes from the places I explored and the things I learned, inward and outward, along the way. How I sold all that I had, wandered, got lost, found my way, discovered, ate, cooked and shared marvelous and delicious food. Born and raised a tiny village in upstate New York, I am a culinary veteran with over 30 years of experience working in restaurants, catering, in the natural foods industry, and as a culinary educator. Now, I find myself to be a 49-year old, dedicated devourer who prefers street food to a typical white linen fine dining experience. I was a winner of "Denver's Best Home Chef" contest, appeared as a guest chef on several morning programs and once competed on an obscure Food Network trivia game show, where I came in 2nd and won a year's supply of Jordan Almonds and Junior Mints. And now I have a podcast, "Something About Food?" so that I can carry on that world of food conversation with diverse guests. Noodles, dumplings, lentil dishes, and far too many pan au chocolats went into this chef's wander. I visited 18 countries, met 3 donkeys, lost my favorite pair of plaid Chuck Taylors in Marrakech, and was gratified to be able to experience the world, and see it as the messed up, wonderful, and joyful home it is. I was a solo woman abroad, traveling in foreign lands, but I found myself at home almost everywhere I wandered.

On our threatened planet the gap between spiritual wisdom and mainstream science is as wide as ever, despite many hopeful ideas from the speculative fringes of science. How can humanity now come together within a world view that can be widely accepted, to build a world where all beings can survive and flourish? This personal journey connects the solid and tested parts of science with the rediscovery of a universe governed by love.

Adult Education and Community Action: Adult Education and Popular Social Movements (Routledge Library Editions: Adult Education)

Originally published in 1982, this book discusses the role of adult education in social and community action. In particular it presents a critical assessment of 'community education' and the theories of Illich, Freire and Gramsci and it proves that there is a radical adult education tradition in the USA, Europe and North America which can offer many insights into the contemporary debate about the role of adult learning. The material is based on a decade of practical involvement in community action and education in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, where - despite deep political and religious divisions - community action has united Catholics and Protestants in a common resolve.

This book seeks to explore the ethical dimensions of economic governance through an engagement with Adam Smith and a critical analysis of economistic understandings of the Global Financial Crisis. It examines ethical and political dilemmas associated with key aspects of the financialisation of Anglo-American economy and society, including systems of asset-based welfare, modern risk management and debt. In the wake of the financial crisis, recognition of the way in which everyday lives and life chances are tied into global finance is widespread. Yet few contributions in IPE explicitly tackle this issue as a question of ethics. By developing Adam Smith’s under-utilised account of how market-oriented behaviour is constituted through a process of ‘sympathy’, this book provides an innovative way of understanding contemporary issues of economic governance and the possibilities and limits for intervention within it. By taking Adam Smith’s moral philosophy seriously, it becomes evident that the ever-deeper enmeshing of finance in our everyday lives is a failed experiment. Turning the common understanding of Smith on its head, we can also turn accepted wisdom about the recent financial crisis on its head and see the urgency of making better known the ethico-political contestation that lies at the heart of financial market relations. It will be of interest to students and scholars of IPE as well as those across the social sciences who wish to question the foundations of contemporary economy and society.
