The book formulates an evolutionary approach to the theory of knowledge based on the parallelism between the natural selection of our cognitive capacities and the rational selection of the methodological processes by which we put them to work The former reflects the biological evolution of homo sapiens the latter the cultural evolution of homo quaerens through the development of a scientific community of inquirers with its characteristic practices This dual aspect of cognitive evolution indicates that our human cognitive accomplishments are limited by our particular evolutionary attunement to the worlds scheme of things and are bound to reflect the character of our particular evolutionary niche The resulting doctrinal position is one of a realistic relativism

John Iwan Demjanjuk was at the center of one of historys most complex war crimes trials But why did it take almost sixty years for the United States to bring him to justice as a Nazi collaboratorThe answer lies in the annals of the Cold War when fear and paranoia drove American politicians and the US military to recruit useful Nazi war criminals to work for the United States in Europe as spies and saboteurs and to slip them into America through loopholes in US immigration policy During and after the war that same immigration policy was used to prevent thousands of Jewish refugees from reaching the shores of AmericaThe long and twisted saga of John Demjanjuk a postwar immigrant and auto mechanic living a quiet life in Cleveland until 1977 is the final piece in the puzzle of American government deceit The White House the Departments of War and State the FBI and the CIA supported policies that harbored Nazi war criminals and actively worked to hide and shelter them from those who dared to investigate and deport themThe heroes in this story are men and women such as Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman and Justice Department prosecutor Eli Rosenbaum who worked for decades to hold hearings find and investigate alleged Nazi war criminals and successfully prosecute them for visa fraud But it was not until the conviction of John Demjanjuk in Munich in 2011 as an SS camp guard serving at the Sobibor death camp that this story of deceit can be told for what it is a shameful chapter in American historyRiveting and deeply researched Useful Enemies is the account of one mans criminal past and its devastating consequences and the story of how America sacrificed its moral authority in the wake of historys darkest moment

This is the first extended study of Wordsworths complex subtle and often conflicted engagement with the material and cultural legacies of monasticism It reveals that a set of topographical antiquarian and ecclesiastical sources consulted by Wordsworth between 1806 and 1822 provided extensive details of the routines structures landscapes and architecture of the medieval monastic system In addition to offering a new way of thinking about religious dimensions of Wordsworths work and his views on Roman Catholicism the book offers original insights into a range of important issues in his poetry and prose including the historical resonances of the landscape local attachment and memorialization gardening and cultivation Quakerism and silence solitude and community pastoral retreat and national identityWordsworths interest in monastic history helps explain significant stylistic developments in his writing In this oftenneglected phase of his career Wordsworth undertakes a series of generic experiments in order to craft poems capable of reformulating and refining taste he adapts popular narrative forms and challenges pastoral conventions creating difficult austere poetry that he hopes will encourage contemplation and subdue readers appetites for exciting narrative action This book thus argues for the significance and innovative qualities of some of Wordsworths most marginalized writings It grants poems such as The White Doe of Rylstone The Excursion and Ecclesiastical Sketches the centrality Wordsworth believed they deserved and reveals how Wordsworths engagement with the monastic history of his local region inflected his radical strategies for the creation of taste
