This collection addresses the perennial philosophical and
theological issues of human finitude and the potentiality for evil.
The contributors approach these issues from perspectives in
Continental philosophy relating to phenomenology, philosophical
hermeneutics, rabbinical traditions, drawing upon the work of
Immanuel Kant, Soren Kierkegaard, and Paul Ricoeur. While centering
on the traditional theme of theodicy, this volume is also oriented
to the phenomenology of religion, with contributions across
religions and intellectual traditions.
This book compares and contrasts historical and contemporary
Canadian and U.S. Native American policy. The contributors include
economists, political scientists, and lawyers, who, despite
analyzing a number of different groups in several eras,
consistently take a political economy approach to the issues. Using
this framework, the authors examine the evolution of property
rights, from wildlife in pre-Columbian times and the potential for
using property rights to resolve contemporary fish and wildlife
issues, to the importance of customs and culture to resource use
decisions; the competition from states for Native American casino
revenues; and the impact of sovereignty on economic development. In
each case, the chapters present new data and new ways of thinking
about old evidence. In addition to providing a framework for
analysis and new data, this book suggests how Native American and
First Nation policy might be reformed toward the end of sustainable
economic development, cultural integrity, and self-determination.
For these reasons, the book should be of interest to scholars,
policy analysts, and students of Native American law, economics,
and resource use, as well as those interested in the history of
Native Americans and Canada's First Nations.
