Thinking And Talking

by Giorgio Baruchello

Paperback, $29.95 USD. Purchase from Amazon.

“Perhaps, one day we will learn to evaluate the success of an economic system by the actual wellbeing that it creates across peoples and generations, securing means of life and opportunities to lead a meaningful existence, rather than by the volume of lifeless sums of money stated by the balance sheet.”

Baruchello’s fifth collection of essays brings his diverse philosophical interests—Gadamer, Socrates, Gestalt psychology, Catholic ethics, Icelandic public policy, to name only a few examples—into a unified exploration of the interpersonal dimension of human reason. His writerly voice is similarly diverse: there’s straight-up academic prose, and Heideggerian aphorisms, a gentle sense of humour, and an intimate account of how he explains philosophy to his children. Thinking And Talking is a book for those who still believe that philosophy is about love, not only the love of wisdom, but also the love of humanity.

The Business of Life and Death, Volume Two:
Politics, Law, and Society

by Giorgio Baruchello

Paperback, $29.95 USD. Purchase from Amazon

With patient logic, comprehensive research, a courageous sense of purpose, and indeed a gentle sense of humour, this volume of Baruchello’s essays continues the work of John McMurtry, and fills in the unacknowledged missing pieces in the work of Martha Nussbaum, Hans Jonas, and Arthur Fridolin Utz, among others. Baruchello lays bare the frightening reality of how capital has controlled our understanding of knowledge, ethics, and meaning, to the detriment of the life-flourishing of peoples and environments. Yet his argument remains optimistic: he shows how the power of capital can be escaped, and how the life-ground of human goodness can replace it.

An Economy of Words

The Collected Poems of Bob Myers

Paperback, $19.95. Purchase from Amazon.

From the Author's Preface: “I am not a poet. I make that clear in the first entry. I am by profession a teacher who loves to read and teach poetry and finds great pleasure in writing poetry to please myself and maybe my family and friends. In this collection you will read about my faith and some principles I embrace, about family, friends and people encountered, about ordinary things and ordinary events that pepper all our lives.”

The Business of Life and Death, Volume One:
Values and Economies

by Giorgio Baruchello

Paperback, $29.95 USD. Purchase from Amazon.

As Descartes did for epistemology and Lévinas did for ethics, Baruchello places social and political philosophy as the new ‘first philosophy’. His research in the intersecting fields of economics, power politics, knowledge, and reality, presented here and in The Business of Life and Death Volume 2: Politics, Law, and Society, continues the work of John McMurtry, and fills in the unacknowledged missing pieces in the work of Paul Krugman, Naomi Klein, and Noam Chomsky, among others. He lays bare the frightening reality of how capital has controlled our understanding of knowledge, ethics, and meaning, to the detriment of the life-flourishing of peoples and environments. Yet his argument remains optimistic: he shows how the power of capital can be escaped, and how the life-ground of human goodness can replace it.
