Next, I relate the distinction between the political and the personal to the distinction between having normative reasons for a particular political arrangement and merely having a ‘pro-attitude’ towards a state of affairs that accords with one's preferred definition of happiness. I begin by outlining the main features of public happiness as an Enlightenment ideal. Public happiness is presented as a feature of the system of right that defines the political relationship between citizens, as opposed to their personal mental states, desires or well-being. In this paper, I defend a conception of public happiness that is distinct from private or first-person happiness. Theories of happiness usually consider happiness as something that matters to us from a first-person perspective. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Physical books and manuscripts often play a central role in the occult. Aside from physical evidence (age and composition of ink, paper, velum, etc) linguistic analysis can also reveal the likely origin and composition of purportedly ancient texts. While modern manuscript studies can reveal more detailed information about when and where a text was created, the fictional providence of occult texts many times has a powerful effect on how it was received and viewed. Many are purported to be based on ancient or older texts, have pseudepigraphic authors, or are unique in one way or another. They are included in this section because the physical manuscripts require study and not just the content within them. This section contains important manuscripts primarily from the pre-modern era. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Wisconsin State Reading Association’s “Picture This” List!

(I wanted to use emotional or painful instead of drama-filled, but I think that was more me putting myself in Tris’s shoes and injecting emotion into the situation since Tris didn’t seem to have much emotion one way or another.) ![]() I also found the relationship problems between Tris and Tobias to be realistic (given the premise) and drama-filled enough to hook me. I have a penchant for broken characters, especially the ones who teeter on the edge of darkness, capable of being good but dangerously close to choosing the wrong path. I found Tobias to be interesting as a character, with his erratic behavior and the darkness that started showing through. I will say, however, that it was at least a little more interesting than the first in character development. But this book just didn’t do it for me on either front. Insurgent, by Veronica Roth, is the second novel in the three-part Divergent series and describes a revolution in a post-apocalyptic Chicago. I can love an action-packed, plot-driven book even if there’s little character development. I can love an emotional, character-driven book even if there’s little plot.
