Comparing Suffering Across Species, John Nolt
Comparing Suffering Across Species, John Nolt
John Nolt
Moral life often presents us with trade-offs between the sufferings of some individuals and the sufferings of others. Researchers may need to consider, for example, whether the suffering imposed on animals by a certain line of medical experimentation justifies the relief that the resulting discoveries may bring to (human or non-human) others. Often in such cases, the suffering of some individuals is incomparable with—that is neither greater than nor less than nor equal to— the suffering of others. While this complicates moral decision-making across species, it does not undermine it.

The aim of this article is to enhance understanding of the Hindemith Sonata and assist performers toward performances of the highest musical quality and emotional impact. The goal is to produce a musical and historically informed performance, based on a good theoretical foundation and thorough technical preparation. We will briefly discuss the history and theory behind Hindemith’s Sonata, examine unique performance issues, and introduce ways to prepare for a successful performance with several specific exercises designed to help the trombonist decode Hindemith’s complex compositional language, which involves a unique approach to tonality and rhythm.

The Individual's Obligation To Relinquish Unnecessary Greenhouse Gas-Emitting Devices, John Nolt
The Individual's Obligation To Relinquish Unnecessary Greenhouse Gas-Emitting Devices, John Nolt
John Nolt
The use of many common devices requires the emission of greenhouse gases. Examples include internal combustion engines, most heating and cooling devices, and anything that uses electrical power some of which is generated by the burning of fossil fuels. Most current schemes for reducing greenhouse gas emissions take it for granted that individuals will continue using such devices. These schemes aim, for example, to sequester the emissions or switch the energy source to wind, solar or nuclear power. But this paper contends that the potential harm of global climate change is so great and the need for emissions reduction so …
