In this book Linda Zagzebski presents an original moral theory based on direct reference to exemplars of goodness, modeled on the Putnam-Kripke theory which revolutionized semantics in the seventies. In Exemplarist Moral Theory, exemplars are identified through the emotion of admiration, which Zagzebski argues is both a motivating emotion and an emotion whose cognitive content permits the mapping of the moral domain around the features of exemplars. Using examples of heroes, saints, and sages, Zagzebski shows how narratives of exemplars and empirical work on the most admirable persons can be incorporated into the theory for both the theoretical purpose of generating a comprehensive theory, and the practical purpose of moral education and self-improvement. All basic moral terms, including "good person," "virtue," "good life," "right act," and "wrong act" are defined by the motives, ends, acts, or judgments of exemplars, or persons like that. The theory also generates an account of moral learning through emulation of exemplars, and Zagzebski defends a principle of the division of moral linguistic labor, which gives certain groups of people in a linguistic community special functions in identifying the extension or moral terms, spreading the stereotype associated with the term through the community, or providing the reasoning supporting judgments using those terms. The theory is therefore semantically externalist in that the meaning of moral terms is determined by features of the world outside the mind of the user, including features of exemplars and features of the social linguistic network linking users of the terms to exemplars. The book ends with suggestions about versions of the theory that are forms of moral realism, including a version that supports the existence of necessary a posteriori truths in ethics.

As a follow up to his widely acclaimed Sustainable Urbanism, this new book from author Douglas Farr embraces the idea that the humanitarian, population, and climate crises are three facets of one interrelated human existential challenge, one with impossibly short deadlines. The vision of Sustainable Nation is to accelerate the pace of progress of human civilization to create an equitable and sustainable world. The core strategy of Sustainable Nation is the perfection of the design and governance of all neighborhoods to make them unique exemplars of community and sustainability. The tools to achieve this vision are more than 70 patterns for rebellious change written by industry leaders of thought and practice. Each pattern represents an aspirational, future-oriented ideal for a key aspect of a neighborhood. At once an urgent call to action and a guidebook for change, Sustainable Nation is an essential resource for urban designers, planners, and architects.

St Mary Magdalene meeting the risen Christ in the garden Flemish Illuminated Manuscript 14th Century
from the Walters Art Museum, in Baltimore, Maryland.
The Roman numeral XLVI at the top of the leaf indicates it was originally folio 46 of the Gradual. The initial E begins the Introit to the Mass for Epiphany, which is celebrated on 6 January: Ecce advenit Dominator Dominus (Behold the Lord the Ruler is come). The eldest Magus kisses but does not touch—his hands are covered—the feet of Christ, an event described in the thirteenth-century mystical text known as the Meditations on the Life of Christ. It was Tertullian (ca. 160–230), the Christian writer, who transformed the Magi into kings.

We’ll go ahead and say it: this is the most beautiful Hebrew Bible in the world.
By the name of it, you'd think it was another falconry manuscript like De Arte Venandi Cum Avibus, but it's actually a two volume liturgical book that was created in Germany between 1503 and 1510. It's called The Geese Book due to this illustration in the first book: Illustration from the bottom of a page showing a wolf leading a choir of geese, with a fox standing over them. Keeping the fowl singers in line? ...I'll get my coat... The volumes largely contain musical notation for chants with several very decorative illuminations. It's believed that one monk acted as scribe, whilst another chap was the artist. Having researched it a bit, I found out that this book is huge -- 25.75" x 17.5" -- and made of vellum with pigskin bindings. That's a lot of book, which doesn't sound massive until you see pictures: Left: The cover of volume II of The Geese Book. Sooo very pretty! Right: Pictures of the book being digitised by the good people at The Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. The book contains a variety of chants for use at different times, some with some gorgeous illuminated margins and letters. Some of these chants are suggested for use at very precise days, such as the first Sunday in Advent, which, incidentally, has a really beautiful page, with a really odd illustration at the bottom: Bear and bear hunter in a bear hug. It looks oddly like a reconciliation rather than the bear attacking... Even after all these centuries, the gold on these pages is bright and looks absolutely stunning. The best example is a page with notation for chants on Trinity Sunday. The whole page is beautiful and in fantastic condition: Look how shiny that gold is! Also, I totally agree that the best time to shoot a deer with antlers like that is when it's asleep. For a higher res and zoomable image, check this page out. ACMRS has been digitising this manuscript since at least 2004. It became available online yesterday. I genuinely feel the need to thank the people who worked on this project for putting it online in this fashion. Without their work, I would never have lost myself in these two books which were created by two talented men. If you want to know more, examine the manuscript or even hear the chants (yeah, that hard work was part of the project too!), here's a link that'll take you straight to the online versions of the book: http://geesebook.asu.edu/volumes.htm. Enjoy!
