While indeterminacy is a recurrent theme in philosophy, less
progress has been made in clarifying its significance for various
philosophical and interdisciplinary contexts. This collection
brings together early-career and well-known philosophers-including
Graham Priest, Trish Glazebrook, Steven Crowell, Robert Neville,
Todd May, and William Desmond-to explore indeterminacy in greater
detail. The volume is unique in that its essays demonstrate the
positive significance of indeterminacy, insofar as indeterminacy
opens up new fields of discourse and illuminates neglected aspects
of various concepts and phenomena. The essays are organized
thematically around indeterminacy's impact on various areas of
philosophy, including post-Kantian idealism, phenomenology, ethics,
hermeneutics, aesthetics, and East Asian philosophy. They also take
an interdisciplinary approach by elaborating the conceptual
connections between indeterminacy and literature, music, religion,
and science.

The book covers financial inclusion in the southern cone
(Argentina, Brazil, and Chile) and its impact on public finance.
Possible negative consequences of greater financial inclusion are
identified, but the book argues potential benefits outweigh costs.
Financial inclusion has many definitions, but in this book, we
interpret it as bank account ownership and the use of banking
services. Financial inclusion in this context proffers advantages
in the area of tax collection, perhaps the southern cone's gravest
economic obstacle given its future debt servicing commitments and
its socioeconomic development challenges. Households with a bank
account - or, the bank participation rate - began increasing
significantly around 2002, and this increase has coincided with an
unexpected rise in tax collection (especially value-added taxes
(VAT)) spanning periods of macroeconomic growth (2003-2009) and
stagnation (2010-2015). Correlation does not imply causation, yet
using empirical methods this book shows financial inclusion
contributes to better tax collection by encouraging more formal
market transactions via the use of bank-provided credit and debit
cards. Consumption represents the largest component of most
economies and consumption taxes contribute more to public revenue
in the southern cone than other taxes, hence more formal
consumption enhances overall tax collection.
In order to preserve and ensure the vitality of freedom and
democracy in democratic societies, it is important that citizens
reflect deeply on the meaning of freedom and the conditions
necessary to sustain it. The idea for this volume arose from
discussions at the February 2019 annual meeting of the Georgia
Philosophical Society held at Mercer University on the theme of
""Freedom and Society,"" and drafts of many of the chapters were
first presented there. Including contributions from both
early-career and well-known scholars, the chapters are tied
together by questions about the nature of political freedom and
autonomy in democratic societies and about the ways in which the
enactment of democratic freedom depends on awareness of and
engagement with freedom's underlying conditions. These conditions
include social responsibility, creative innovation, and strong
democratic institutions. Other recurring themes in the volume
include the pitfalls of atomistic models of autonomy and the
importance of giving due consideration to intersubjectivity,
embodiment, and plurality as integral elements of a free society.
Countering models centered exclusively on negative freedom, (i.e.
freedom from constraints imposed by others), several chapters
highlight the crucial roles of social responsibility and creativity
in confronting obstructions to freedom, such as systemic racism and
other challenges currently facing democracies. Finally, several
chapters emphasize the fundamental importance of strong and just
democratic institutions as the primary means of reliably expressing
the will of the people.
With fewer than 4,000 graduates over 92 years, Western Military
Academy in Alton, Illinois educated more than ten general officers,
a governor of Illinois, Thomas Hart Benton the artist, William
Paley founder of CBS, Butch O'Hare World War II's first Navy Ace
and Medal of Honor winner for whom Chicago's international airport
is named and General Paul Tibbets who led the first B-17 bombing
missions over German occupied Europe and as pilot of the B-29 Enola
Gay dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan to help end World War II
. This book is more than about bricks and mortar or the success of
Western Military Academy graduates. It is a story of how private
military school education developed in America and the character of
the men (and today, women) that education can develop. For those
wanting an insight into what it is like to go to a military school
like Western Military Academy and what character it produces in its
graduates, this book will give a look into that world.
