The Justified Vision is a compilation of all my works from my teenage years to adulthood. I write about what I have experienced, what I've seen, my beliefs in life, my trials, my tribulations, and a message in some cases, to those who will listen. Most of my poems are true stories, true events, true feelings. I have seen some dark days. I have seen the very gates to hell. I have been through events that could break a person down mentally. But as with any experience that you survive, strength is always the end result. I have always believed in justified living. Living life knowing that the sands of time will eventually diminish. Life is poetry. Every line, every word has a meaning that adds to the beauty of the work. Live it justified. Live your life with a purpose and reason. Everything you do in life will affect you and others around you whether you believe it or not. I hope in some way this book touches your life and helps you understand what I mean by "Live life Justified". I hope that it gives you inspiration and clarity to the turbulence within your experience by seeing what I have gone through. Most of all I hope you enjoy the vision and the spirit behind each one of my poems.

Visions of Peace: Asia and the West explores the diversity of past conceptualizations as well as the remarkable continuity in the hope for peace across global intellectual traditions. Current literature, prompted by September 11, predominantly focuses on the laws and ethics of just wars or modern ideals of peace. Asian and Western ideals of peace before the modern era have largely escaped scholarly attention. This book examines Western and Asian visions of peace that existed prior to c.1800 by bringing together experts from a variety of intellectual traditions. The historical survey ranges from ancient Greek thought, early Christianity and medieval scholasticism to Hinduism, classical Confucianism and Tokuguwa Japanese learning, before illuminating unfamiliar aspects of peace visions in the European Enlightenment. Each chapter offers a particular case study and attempts to rehabilitate a 'forgotten' conception of peace and reclaim its contemporary relevance. Collectively they provide the conceptual resources to inspire more creative thinking towards a new vision of peace in the present. Students and specialists in international relations, peace studies, history, political theory, philosophy, and religious studies will find this book a valuable resource on diverse conceptions of peace.

The second edition of Jack Crumley’s An Introduction to Epistemology strikes a balance between the many issues that engage contemporary epistemologists and the contributions of the major historical figures. He shows not only how philosophers such as Descartes, Hume, Locke, Berkeley, and Kant foreground the contemporary debates, but also why they deserve consideration on their own terms. A substantial revision of the first edition, the second edition is even more accessible to students. The new edition includes recent work on contextualism, evidentialism, externalism and internalism, and perceptual realism; as well, the chapter on coherence theory is substantially revised, reflecting recent developments in that area. New to this second edition is a chapter on feminist epistemology, which includes discussions of major positions and themes, such as feminist empiricism, feminist standpoint epistemology, postmodern epistemology, and feminist critiques of objectivity. It presents the important contributions of philosophers such as Sandra Harding, Helen Longino, Genevieve Lloyd, and others. Each chapter ends with a list of study questions and readings for further study.
