'To a rational being there can be but one rule of conduct, justice, and one mode of ascertaining that rule, the exercise of his understanding.'

Godwin's Political Justice is the founding text of philosophical anarchism. Written in the immediate aftermath of the French Revolution, it exemplifies the political optimism felt by many writers and intellectuals. Godwin drew on enlightenment ideas and his background in religious dissent for the principles of justice, utility, and the sanctity of individual judgement that drove his powerful critique of all forms of secular and religious authority. He predicts the triumph of justice and equality over injustice, and of mind over matter, and the eventual vanquishing of human frailty and mortality. He also foresees the gradual elimination of practices governing property, punishment, law, and marriage and the displacement of politics by an expanded personal morality resulting from reasoned argument and candid discussion. Political Justice raises deep philosophical questions about the nature of our duty to others that remain central to modern debates on ethics and politics.

This edition reprints the first-edition text of 1793, and examines Godwin's evolving philosophy in the context of his life and work.

Good quality and great value
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
Willow & Everett Salt and Pepper Grinder Set - Stainless Steel Manual Mills I bought this set because my smaller pepper grinder broke. This set is very similar in style, though larger. I really like it! The larger size is easier to handle and can store more pepper and salt inside it, meaning it needs less frequent refills. The adjustable grinder mechanisms work very well. The lids are easy to take on and off. The caddy is a little flimsy, but that wasn't why I bought the set. If you are swayed by the caddy, then you might be disappointed if it receives heavy use (like a family dinner table). But the mills and grinders themselves are good quality and a great bargain.

Simplicity wins here
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
These S/P grinders are simple but I love it. I've purchased several grinders over the years. Some powered, a set using levers to grind, other manual twisters — each with cute features — that all had flaws with filling ease or the powered versions just quit working. This set is so easy to fill, adjust, and use, look, and feel great in hand, and don't break the bank with gimmicks. This set is form and function at its best. UPDATE: So I purchased this set in Nov of 2024. As you can see, it was love. Of late, the grinders have become problematic…especially the salt grinder. The salt grinder got to where even adjust the grind size because it took all I could do to even get the adjustment screw cap to screw on. Salt was getting trapped so I disassembled the grinder cap and cleaned it over and over. With each use, the grinder got more loose. Tonight, it finally gave up. No. These grinders aren’t extremely expensive but, from the reviews and ratings, I’m highly surprised and disappointed.
