Most have saved a little, spent a lot, seen pensions cut and Social Security squeezed, and will live longer than any generation before. Your Next Fifty Years challenges baby boomers to develop a completely new perspective: retirement as renaissance - not the end of working life, but rather a time to renew, refocus, and recharge, based on long-range dreams and goals. Collins and Wall draw upon their unique training in psychology and financial planning to explore practical alternatives to the traditional concept of retirementalternatives such as sabbaticals, flextime, and temporary or part-time retirement.

Christine Korsgaard has become one of the leading interpreters of Kant's moral philosophy. She is identified with a small group of philosophers who are intent on producing a version of Kant's moral philosophy that is at once sensitive to its historical roots while revealing its particular relevance to contemporary problems. She rejects the traditional picture of Kant's ethics as a cold vision of the moral life which emphasises duty at the expense of love and value. Rather, Kant's work is seen as providing a resource for addressing not only the metaphysics of morals, but also for tackling practical questions about personal relations, politics, and everyday human interaction. This collection contains some of the finest current work on Kant's ethics and will command the attention of all those involved in teaching and studying moral theory.
