Sobre IBD

The political, economic and military elites of the world have combined their resources and initiated the Third World War in order to cull the population in preparation for establishing a global technocracy. The story begins shortly after the war is complete, and the survivors are still experiencing the effects of the nuclear winter. The elite, who have weathered the war in an underground city, and in an assortment of smaller bunkers, are preparing to emerge with the intent to reassert their authority and set up a technocratic rule of the world. The events are viewed from the perspective of both members of the elite and people who identify with the ordinary citizens - both children and adults.

  • Aquinas, Ethics, and Philosophy of Religion
    Thomas Hibbs
    In Aquinas, Ethics, and Philosophy of Religion, Thomas Hibbs recovers the notion of practice to develop a more descriptive account of human action and knowing, grounded in the venerable vocabulary of virtue and vice. Drawing on Aquinas, who believed that all good works originate from virtue, Hibbs postulates how epistemology, ethics, metaphysics, and theology combine into a set...

    Immanuel Kant

  • On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
    HENRY DAVID THOREAU
    Civil Disobedience argues that citizens should not permit their governments to overrule their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing their acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War, but the sentiments he expresses here are just as pertinent ...

  • Beyond Good and Evil
    Friedrich Nietzsche
    Nietzsche, though primarily a philosopher, wrote widely on art, philology, history, religion, tragedy, culture, and science.  In 1886, at the height of his powers, he published Beyond Good and Evil.  Here he examines much of the best of human thought--dogmatic philosophy, Judeo-Christian morality, science and democracy – and finds it lacking.  Rejecting “slave-morality” he pres...

  • The Ontology of I/Thou
    Jay Edson
    This is an autobiography of sorts. My primary agenda, though, is not to give the reader a coherent account of my life. Rather I use my recollections of an odd assortment of intense experiences as jumping off points for some philosophical and religious reflections. The experiences are always as much about someone else as they are about me - hence the emphasis on I/Thou. It shou...

  • A Galaxy of No-Stars
    Jay Edson
    Coming to terms with the sudden loss of billions of humans in a single event has so long been an underlying theme of stories that the genre has its own name -- the post-apocaplyptic novel. Many deal with the practical dramas and demands of such an event, and many with the sociological ones implicit in rebuilding human society from what scraps remain. Few books, though, have eve...

  • What Can I Say About Light?
    Jay Edson
    This book is about what most poetry books are about. Death, Life, Birth, the Sun, Flowers, Love - that kind of thing. It even has a few butterflies in it. Originally I thought about including a very nice poem I had about a noble Indian looking out toward the horizon with a tear in his eye. But I decided to leave that one out. Also I had a really poignant poem about a lighthouse...
