The Challoners is a story about the complex dynamics within a family as its members navigate societal norms, personal desires, and familial obligations. The narrative explores the tension between duty and personal aspirations, focusing on the conflict between individual desires and family expectations. At its heart, the story delves into the struggle for autonomy, especially in an environment where traditional values clash with personal inclinations. The protagonist's frustration with her confined existence reflects a broader commentary on the limitations placed upon women and artistic expression. The relationships within the family unfold through moments of subtle tension, revealing a deep underlying conflict between personal identity and familial loyalty. This struggle is amplified by the generational divide, with the younger characters seeking freedom from the rigid constraints of their elders. The novel highlights the challenges of balancing moral responsibility with personal growth and self-expression, suggesting that navigating between these forces is central to the journey of the characters. As the story progresses, it promises to explore the emotional and intellectual battles between individuals and the structures that bind them.

Lover or Friend delves into the relationships and evolving dynamics between two families, the Ross family and the Blake family, against the backdrop of societal expectations in the early 20th century. The story primarily focuses on the lively and impulsive Audrey Ross, her more reserved sister Geraldine, and the recently arrived widow Mrs. Blake and her children, who contrast with the Ross family's lifestyle. At the outset of the novel, we are introduced to the Ross family's discussions and impressions of the Blakes, who are new to the community. Audrey's spirited and impulsive nature leads her to visit the Blakes to offer help, a stark contrast to her cautious sister, who remains more reserved in her approach. As the narrative progresses, it explores themes of social propriety, family loyalty, and the development of new friendships amid societal constraints and personal conflicts. Audrey's initial encounter with the Blakes, along with her sister's more sceptical observations, lays the groundwork for future emotional developments and character growth.

In this mercilessly funny takedown, Jean-Jacques Rousseau—history's most insufferable philosopher—gets the roasting he so richly deserves. "Noble Savage, Deadbeat Dad" exposes the spectacular hypocrisy of a man who abandoned five children at orphanages while writing the definitive guide to education, preached natural virtue while exposing himself to strangers, and railed against wealth while living off rich patrons.Laugh out loud as we dissect Rousseau's greatest contradictions: his fetishization of indigenous cultures (without meeting any actual indigenous people), his belief that society corrupts natural goodness (while engaging in deeply unnatural bedroom activities), and his conviction that he alone understood true freedom (while being pathologically dependent on others for basic survival).This savagely irreverent guide reveals how a paranoid, chronically constipated Swiss misanthrope somehow managed to inspire both democracy AND totalitarianism between bouts of accusing everyone he met of conspiring against him. With brutal honesty and razor-sharp wit, we explore how Rousseau's complete disaster of a personal life somehow produced philosophical insights that still haunt us today—especially when we complain about technology ruining society while scrolling through social media.Perfect for philosophy students in desperate need of comic relief, or anyone who enjoys watching narcissistic geniuses get thoroughly eviscerated. Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable laughter and concerned looks from serious academics.

An exiled professor’s journey from inside and beyond academeIn the summer of 2014, Steven Salaita was fired from a tenured position in American Indian Studies at the University of Illinois for his unwavering stance on Palestinian human rights and other political controversies. A year later, he landed a job in Lebanon, but that, too, ended badly. With no other recourse, Salaita found himself trading his successful academic career for an hourly salaried job. Told primarily from behind the wheel of a school bus—a vantage point from which Salaita explores social anxiety, suburban architecture, political alienation, racial oppression, working-class solidarity, professional malfeasance, and the joy of chauffeuring children to and from school—An Honest Living describes the author’s decade of turbulent post-professorial life and his recent return to the lectern.Steven Salaita was practically born to a life in academia. His father taught physics at an HBCU in southern West Virginia and his earliest memories are of life on campus and the cinder walls of the classroom. It was no surprise that he ended up in the classroom straight after graduate school. Yet three of his university jobs—Virginia Tech, the University of Illinois, and the American University of Beirut [AUB] —ended in public controversy. Shaken by his sudden notoriety and false claims of antisemitism, Salaita found himself driving a school bus to make ends meet. While some considered this just punishment for his anti-Zionist beliefs, Steven found that driving a bus provided him with not just a means to pay the bills but a path toward freedom of thought.Now ten years later, with a job at American University at Cairo, Salaita reconciles his past with his future. His restlessness has found a home, yet his return to academe is met with the same condition of fugitivity from whence he was expelled: an occasion for defiance, not conciliation. An Honest Living presents an intimate personal narrative of the author’s decade of professional joys and travails.

This is a fully sarcastic, gloriously disrespectful roast of the chubbiest, holiest overachiever in Catholic history—a Dominican friar who took Aristotle’s metaphysics, added Latin, guilt, and divine purpose, and built the intellectual operating system of the Catholic Church.Inside, you’ll find:A breakdown of Aquinas’ Five Ways to Prove God Exists (spoiler: it's always God)An introduction to natural law, also known as “why everything you enjoy is probably a sin”His obsession with angel hierarchies, because theology needed a Pokémon-style ranking systemThe Summa Theologica, or what happens when you try to explain God using spreadsheet logic and footnote warfareWhy Aquinas is still being cited in modern debates about abortion, bioethics, transubstantiation, and leggingsFrom his flaming-stick celibacy defense to the fact that he nearly out-argued Augustine with a smile, Aquinas is the blueprint for theological overachievement—and this book is the spiritual field guide you didn’t know you needed.Perfect for:Recovering theology majorsCatholic guilt survivorsPhilosophy nerds who love a good roastAnyone trying to understand how Aquinas still dominates moral debates despite being very, very deadCome for the metaphysics, stay for the footnote-based moral mic drops.Thomas Aquinas: he came, he theologized, he canonized himself through sheer force of logic.

This is a fully sarcastic, gloriously disrespectful roast of the chubbiest, holiest overachiever in Catholic history—a Dominican friar who took Aristotle’s metaphysics, added Latin, guilt, and divine purpose, and built the intellectual operating system of the Catholic Church.Inside, you’ll find:A breakdown of Aquinas’ Five Ways to Prove God Exists (spoiler: it's always God)An introduction to natural law, also known as “why everything you enjoy is probably a sin”His obsession with angel hierarchies, because theology needed a Pokémon-style ranking systemThe Summa Theologica, or what happens when you try to explain God using spreadsheet logic and footnote warfareWhy Aquinas is still being cited in modern debates about abortion, bioethics, transubstantiation, and leggingsFrom his flaming-stick celibacy defense to the fact that he nearly out-argued Augustine with a smile, Aquinas is the blueprint for theological overachievement—and this book is the spiritual field guide you didn’t know you needed.Perfect for:Recovering theology majorsCatholic guilt survivorsPhilosophy nerds who love a good roastAnyone trying to understand how Aquinas still dominates moral debates despite being very, very deadCome for the metaphysics, stay for the footnote-based moral mic drops.Thomas Aquinas: he came, he theologized, he canonized himself through sheer force of logic.

What if your political identity, your core beliefs, and even your taste in snack food weren’t really yours? What if they were built out of language, hijacked by desire, and quietly manipulated by slogans, myths, and a Symbolic Order you didn’t ask to be born into?Welcome to the world of Jacques Lacan, where nothing means what it seems, and everything is your unconscious acting out.Lacan Sucks is your brutally sarcastic, surprisingly accurate guide to Lacan’s theory of language, power, and why you keep voting against your own interests. From signifiers that never shut up to unconscious desires that vote without you, this book breaks down how politics doesn’t just use language—it is language.Through roast-level commentary, existential side-eye, and actual philosophical insight (yes, really), this book unpacks:How language doesn’t reflect reality—it constructs itWhy you’re not an individual, you’re a pre-written script with anxietyHow politicians weaponize your desires with slogans and symbolsWhat the hell Lacan meant by “the unconscious is structured like a language”And how to fight back using the one weapon they fear: your own damn voiceIf you’ve ever felt manipulated by political discourse, confused by your own identity, or just wanted to scream into a pillow while reading Écrits, this is the book for you.No degree in psychoanalysis or philosophy required. Just a sense of humor and a lingering suspicion that reality might be rigged.

Ever wondered what reality is made of? If you're thinking atoms, molecules, or maybe regret and caffeine, think again. According to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz—17th-century genius, calculus co-inventor, and metaphysical madlad—the universe is made of tiny, windowless soul-particles called monads. They don’t touch, don’t talk, and yet still manage to reflect the entire cosmos like cosmic disco balls of divine insight.In Leibniz’s Monads: Because Particles with Feelings Totally Make Sense, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) returns with another brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, actually-informative tour through one of philosophy’s weirdest, most ambitious systems. From the problem of evil to quantum physics, ecology to ethics, this book unpacks Leibniz’s windowless wonders and shows how his soul-marbles still haunt modern science, spirituality, and your existential crisis at 2am.Perfect for students, armchair philosophers, or anyone who wants to understand metaphysics without crying in German.Inside, you’ll learn:What monads are (and why they’re basically metaphysical Tamagotchis)Why your soul is pre-synced with the universe like a divine group projectHow this is somehow the best possible world (yes, even with all of… this)What quantum physics, computer science, and modern consciousness studies owe to a guy who never left LeipzigAnd why Leibniz remains philosophy’s most lovable, logic-obsessed optimistIf you like philosophy that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but still takes ideas seriously—this book is for you.Warning: May cause sudden belief in soul-particles. Or at least very polite existential confusion.

Why Did That Happen? Aristotle Has Four Answers and None of Them Are Helpful is your brutally sarcastic, surprisingly educational crash course in Aristotelian philosophy—specifically his theory of causality, aka why things happen according to a man who thought everything, including acorns and chairs, had a spiritual destiny.In this delightfully vicious breakdown of Aristotle’s metaphysics, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) drags you through the Four Causes—material, formal, efficient, and final—with all the reverence of a philosopher who’s had enough. Whether it’s trees yearning to be trees, tables having identity crises, or humans trying to find meaning while simultaneously sabotaging themselves, this book dissects Aristotle’s ancient framework with modern sarcasm and a side of existential dread.Inside, you’ll get:A roast of Aristotle’s greatest hits: substance, essence, and metaphysical overkillWhy your coffee mug apparently has purpose and moral characterHow causality shows up in nature, ethics, AI, and your inability to commitA final cause that dares to ask if you have one (spoiler: Aristotle thinks you should)And a walk through the philosophical ruins of teleology, where purpose and pretension meetPerfect for philosophy students, intellectual masochists, or anyone who’s ever asked “Why did that happen?” and gotten four wildly overcomplicated answers in response.This is not your professor’s Aristotle.

A eulogy. A survival guide for understanding how Locke gave us:LiberalismLandlordsLegal headachesAnd a political system that thinks fencing off a patch of dirt = moral superiorityPerfect for:Recovering philosophy studentsPolitical skepticsEnlightenment hatersProperty law survivorsAnd anyone who wants to laugh while questioning whether government is just a giant metaphor for a really passive-aggressive roommate agreementYou don’t need to read Two Treatises of Government.You just need to know Locke said, “I think I own that,” and people believed him.
