Resumen del Editor
In this course of lectures, Professor Hadley Arkes seeks to recall the classic connection between morality and law. For law works by sweeping away personal choice and private judgment and replacing them with a public rule, meant to be enforced on everyone. And that state of affairs can be justified only if the law can, in fact, appeal to an understanding of the things that are more generally or universally right or wrong.

Historia
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Everyone would benefit from seeing further into the future, whether buying stocks, crafting policy, launching a new product, or simply planning the week's meals. Unfortunately, people tend to be terrible forecasters. As Wharton professor Philip Tetlock showed in a landmark 2005 study, even experts' predictions are only slightly better than chance. However, an important and underreported conclusion of that study was that some experts do have real foresight.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

This is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.

When two Stanford graduate students set out to create a new kind of cigarette that wouldn’t kill them, they didn’t foresee all the obstacles that lay ahead — or the powerful forces their invention would unleash. Nearly 10 years after the launch of the JUUL, Backfired: The Vaping Wars asks: Could e-cigarettes have been the solution to one of the world’s most pressing public health problems—or was this technology doomed to introduce a whole new generation to nicotine, and end up perpetuating an intractable addiction?

In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the "Sea Peoples" invaded Egypt. The pharaoh’s army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians.

A Thinking Course
It’s good to go back and revisit what is political philosophy. It is interesting to note that this is not the end all, be all on politics, but rather an explanation of the intersection of politics and philosophy. (Something I wish we had more of in our modern times). Professor Arkes has a great narration voice, and this is meant in the in the highest esteem, he reminds me of Klick and Klack. (Some may not understand the reference.)

Truth and Objectivity Work for the Common Good
What did you love best about The Modern Scholar: First Principles & Natural Law: The Foundations of Political Philosophy, Part I?
This book correlates with the everyday decisions and perspectives we have to deal with where we need to operate in truth and for the common good. He gives a superior and scholarly understanding of what is significant in our communications and decisions rather than rigidly trying to perform under rules and regulations. We don't live in a perfect world or deal with people who will understand us if we just say what is on our mind, or how we feel so we need discernment. Above all we need to come to a place of discernment that is objective and based on truth, something that is above our natural inclinations.
What did you like best about this story?
This is a philosophical dissertation and it is so practical and understandable as well as being something one can put into practice. I love the enlightenment he gave.
What about the narrator’s performance did you like?
Very lucid and teachable approach. He puts the information on the practical level.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes! I listened to part 1 and 2 throughout the day and then listened to them again.
Any additional comments?
I am very adept at Philosophy and Theology and well educated in both though I do not have a doctorate. I found this series very relevant to life rather than just education and theoretical. I appreaciate the matter of morals and laws coming together rather than just law ruling.

You get a little lost in the logic
Professor Hadley Arkes has a lovely voice and his arguments and logic are excellent, however my level of intellect isn't quite up to his. Yes I agree with his line but that is the way I have been brought up and now that is who I am. From what I can tell it is mainly about freedom, from slavery, self determination, to think without being forced not to. I don't know how this relates exactly to the rule of law, but it was wonderful to listen to Pro. Hadley Arkes speak. Perhaps after I have made some other political/law books under my belt I might appreciate him and this series of lectures better.

Not for me
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I made an two errors worth mentioning. The title First Principle & Natural Law suggested a book dealing with law of Physics which was what I was looking for. It wasn't. The second was in listening to the subject "Political Philosophy" I found the accent and manner of the narrator rather unappealing and pedantic. I suggest anyone buying this title give it a careful listen beforehand to be sure its what you want.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Something in my intended area of interest. Physical Science.
What didn’t you like about the narrator’s performance?
Tone and manner. Accent.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment

Not very enjoyable.
I was able to listen to the whole book, but I'm not running to buy the next one. I feel a little smarter because of this book and learned a little. It was slightly boring, but not enough to stop listening. I don't know if I'll buy the next one; I have plenty of more interesting books in my sights.

Just for men?
What disappointed you about The Modern Scholar: First Principles & Natural Law: The Foundations of Political Philosophy, Part I?
As a highly educated man, Professor Hadley Arkes has decided to continue the privileging of men. Although I initially tried to ignore the constant male pronoun of 'he', 'his' and the term, 'man', it was too much in the middle of Chapter Two when he stated, '... some men are invested with the authority to impose their judgements on everyone else with the force of law'. Clearly he is aware that there are female legislators. His decision to write and speak this way must be made with his full knowledge that sexist language perpetuates discrimination against women. This prejudice prevents me from listening further, and stands in stark contrast to 'The Modern Scholar: Philosophy of Mind' by Andrew Pessin which is characterised by inclusive language and a joy to hear.
What do you think your next listen will be?
The Modern Scholar: Philosophy of Mind' by Andrew Pessin.
What didn’t you like about the narrator’s performance?
Sexist language which infers deeper prejudice.
Any additional comments?
It would be great if Audible could ask authors to ensure their language is inclusive.
