Evolving Ethics
by Steven Mascaro, Kevin B. Korb, Ann E. Nicholson, and Owen Woodberry
This book describes the application of Artificial Life simulation to evolutionary scenarios of wide ethical interest, including the evolution of altruism, rape and abortion, providing a new meaning to "experimental philosophy".

Meditations (Clydesdale Classics) (Capstone Classics)
by Marcus Aurelius
It was during his campaigns against the barbarians that the Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius, wrote his famous "Meditations".

The book aims to stress, not to play down, the embarassing and fruitful fact that he cannot be neatly pigeonholed either as a literary figure or as a professional philosopher.The book meets a long-felt need for a study in English of both the literary...
