Metaphysical Elements of Ethics

2011-02-21T22:49:00.000-08:00

If there exists on any subject a philosophy (that is, a system of rational knowledge based on concepts), then there must also be for this philosophy a system of pure rational concepts, independent of any condition of intuition, in other words, a metaphysic. It may be asked whether metaphysical elements are required also for every practical philosophy, which is the doctrine of duties, and therefore also for Ethics.

Australia (Lonely Planet Country Guides)

2011-02-07T22:46:00.000-08:00

A lot is at stake. The kangaroo meat and hide industry employs about 4000 people in Australia and generates more than A$200 million a year. In Britain, kangaroo meat sales have been booming, helped along by fears of mad-cow disease, which have put people off beef. However, in September 1997 giant British supermarket chain Tesco banned kangaroo meat from 350 stores after a Sunday newspaper ran a disturbing feature, with pictures, on a kangaroo hunt in the Australian outback. The farmer involved was not a licensed hunter and was not working in the meat industry. Nevertheless, kangaroo meat was taken off the shelves. This left Australian meat-industry representatives fuming, as kangaroo meat sold for human consumption in supermarkets and restaurants comes from licensed hunters governed by a code of practice, and is subject to strict hygiene standards.

For planning a visit, there is more than enough information. However, it might be hard to prioritise, because there is just so much in the book. There are five suggested tour routes, but these only get a page each. I would like a bit more guidance on prioritising where to go.

Morocco (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

2011-01-25T22:50:00.001-08:00

where to go, how to get there, where to find a bed for the night etc. In these areas it's excellent, and saved me quite a few times from paying too much or seeing too little. It's *not* so strong on the history and cultural details of places (something i personally think rough guides are much better at), so if you're not moving around much and want detailed histories of places, this probably isn't for you. If however you need to move around and 'live' in the country for more than a few days, you won't be disappointed. I met several people in Morocco who were using the RG instead, and found the maps and other essentials to be far inferior

But that will be the case with any guide, so go ahead and get the best one available, this one!
