"This book is more than 'book'. It is circle, cycle, cul-de-sac returning us to the refrain of ourselves, our fears and our responsibilities. It forces us with tender tirades and healing-handed humor to face the curse of our own questions. What Miller has done in these few pages begs us to consider how a well lived, wonderfully imperfect life, defines what it means to BE human NOW! Miller is a poet whose poems do what all great poems do: They don't tell us which direction we will find the mountain. Only that the mountain exists."---Regie Gibson, author of Storms Beneath the Skin

Product Description 
In Reinventing American Jurisprudence: Law through the Lens of Value, George David Miller and Laura Brown unfurl an original approach to value and an imaginative landscape in philosophy of law. Value essentialism identifies value formations such as a sacred cow and scapegoat tandem and the intensification of “oughtness” as it approaches sacred zenith values. Readers learn how Occam’s razor has been responsible for the death of many ideas; how the celebrated Other gains nuance as near and remote; and where a spectral assessment of probability and necessity leads. Analyses of Supreme Court cases grow out in different and exciting directions. Buck was not about eugenics, but another iteration of the value of efficiency and Yo Wick was decided less on law and more on a justice’s finding humanity in Chinese laundry mat proprietors. Lochner involved not an ideological binary but three distinct value schemes. “Separate but equal” was refined as parallelism and exploitative tangents. In Brown, the Fourteenth Amendment took a significant subjective turn. In Heller, the communitarian position of stopping violence before it began could be contrasted with the individualistic position of waiting until you see the whites of their eyes in your bedroom. Citizens United was distilled into the question: was the First Amendment designed to maximize participation or maximize democracy? 
 Review 
At a time when the U.S. legal system is coming under increased scrutiny over its possible complicity in enabling social inequality, racial injustice, and sexism, this critical analysis of the values underlying the major theories of law could not come at a better time. -- Peter Hudis, Oakton Community College\nThis text makes crystal clear how the legal system is not merely a set of norms, but rather highlights the values and value tensions underlying high profile cases and decisions. This is an important contribution for those interested in deepening their knowledge of the philosophy of law. -- Lauren Hoffman, Lewis University

This book introduces readers to the Buddhist-based philosophy of education of Daisaku Ikeda. Ikeda's philosophy of education offers human revolution, value creation, and dialogue as counterweights to the violence lurking in today's classrooms. Where education becomes wisdom-based, it transforms learners into keen assessors of their inner lives and establishes a foundation for global citizenship.

Philosophy

Brill/Rodopi

This book is an original synthesis of four elements: (1) the phenomenology of value, (2) caring, (3) the moral imagination, and (4) Kant's formula of humanity. The striking result is an ethics of caring that develops our shared humanity. The probing analysis and pungent argument are assisted by imaginative forms of dialogue, narration, and parable. This lively contribution to our ethical fulfillment concludes with a case for student-centered education that is democratic, creative and caring.
