Michael Smith, "Internalism's Wheel"; Index, pp. 95-96. FROM REAR COVER: "Are ethical judgments capable of being true? If they are capable of being true, does this mean ethical truth is objective? Does truth in ethics depend on the prospects for resolving deep disagreements about what to do and admire? And how does the realm of ethics fit into our conception of reality?". AMUSEMENT for Theoreticians: Interview article from (now defunct) The Boston Phoenix for 11 09 12 laid in, by Peter Kadzis, "Errol Morris, The truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth" (EXCERPT: Kadzis: "You appear to believe in Absolute Truth." Errol Morris: Yeah, absolutely. (There is the faintest of chuckles.) I do believe in absolute truth, and even in an absolute truth that we can know. You may investigate a crime and fail to come to some absolute, definitive conclusion about what happened, or who's guilty. But you can never know that in advance. You can never know in an investigation if you will be successful or unsuccessful. You have to operate under the premise that you will be successful, that you can come to a conclusion, that you can get definite answers." . . . Kadzis: "In general, why is it so hard to get people to agree on the truth?" Errol Morris: "There are lots of reasons. Part of it is that we're all possessed by narratives. We all like to weave stories for ourselves. Part of why I wrote this book [A Wilderness of Errors: The Trial of Jeffrey MacDonald] is to tell a story about how narratives can actually prevent you from seeing evidence, from seeing the world. One thing to remember about truth is that just because some people believe it doesn't make it true."

Soft Cover. Condition: 36. 8vo, br. ed. 256pp. New essays introducing a broad range of novelists of the Weimar period. The Weimar Republic was a turbulent and fateful time in German history. Characterized by economic and political instability, polarization, and radicalism, the period witnessed the efforts of many German writers to play a leading political role, whether directly, in the chaotic years of 1918-1919, or indirectly, through their works. The novelists chosen range from such now-canonical authors as Alfred Döblin, Hermann Hesse, and Heinrich Mann to bestselling writers of the time such as Erich Maria Remarque, B. Traven, Vicki Baum, and Hans Fallada. They also span the political spectrum, from the right-wing Ernst Jünger to pacifists such as Remarque. The journalistic engagement of JosephRoth, otherwise well known as a novelist, and of the recently rediscovered writer Gabriele Tergit is also represented. Contributors: Paul Bishop, Roland Dollinger, Helen Chambers, Karin V. Gunnemann, David Midgley, Brian Murdoch, Fiona Sutton, Heather Valencia, Jenny Williams, Roger Woods.
