Fox Creek by William Kent Krueger5/22/2023 His characters, too, sport charm and dimension, although things start to get a bit shaky toward book’s end. Minnesotan Krueger has a sense of place he’s plainly honed firsthand in below-zero prairie. Some of those he discovers, though, he soon wishes he hadn’t. Almost despite himself, Cork is soon behaving like the lawman he no longer is, looking for answers that are very hard to find. Then there are the murky goings-on over at the casino, where gambling is producing so much wealth for the Native American population that they’ve begun calling it “the new buffalo.” And finally, there’s the windigo, a spirit so malevolent that it can unnerve even those who don’t actually believe in it. There’s also a missing boy, a good and responsible boy, with no reason in the world for him to have run away. Suicide? Judge Parrant? Not that cantankerous old misogynist. There’s the apparent suicide of Judge Parrant. So here’s Cork, who used to be sheriff, who used to have a wife who loved him, who used to have a purpose to his life, sort of stumbling into situations that bewilder him to the nth. The blizzard that buries the small lakeside town also buries some ugly things with it. And he needs to be, for it’s winter in hardscrabble Aurora, Minnesota. But he’s a bend-not-break man: an admirable man. Cork O’Connor is a man beset with troubles, some of them of his own making.

Kant critique of practical reason5/21/2023 These lectures also provide an accessible introduction to and rationale for Adorno's own philosophy as expounded in Negative Dialectics and his other major writings. Adorno examines Kant's dualism and what he calls the Kantian "block": the contradictions arising from Kant's resistance to the idealism that his successors-Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel-saw as the inevitable outcome of his ideas. This new volume by Adorno comprises his lectures on the former.Īdorno attempts to make Kant's thought comprehensible to students by focusing on what he regards as problematic aspects of Kant's philosophy. Although he wrote monographs on Hegel, Husserl, and Kierkegaard, the closest Adorno came to an extended discussion of Kant are two lecture courses, one concentrating on the Critique of Pure Reason and the other on the Critique of Practical Reason.
