The Rationality Project
Rationality has been philosophers' concern stretching back to ancient times. But just what is rationality? In trying to answer this question, rationality is found to be more complex than supposed. This book investigates this supposition and thereby aspires to bring together the facets of the peculiar phenomenon that is rationality. Rationality is shown to be both more complex than presumed and yet more accessible than many may have feared. One argument concedes the common assumption that those interested in rationality need only rely on intuitions about this phenomenon. Yet, even moderate research reveals the concept's profound fuzziness. This book aims to set forth a theory, explanation, and unification of the kindred and disparate understandings of this elusive concept, rationality. Lantz Fleming Miller, a visiting professor of philosophy at Ashoka University in India, focuses on moral, social, and political philosophy, especially pertaining to technological developments. He has published dozens of articles on these subjects in prominent journals. He has also taught philosophy at the University of Twente, Netherlands, and institutes in Paris and New York.

Roots of Equality
For centuries, thinkers have grappled with the mystery of how humans first formulated the notion of equality. The species is quite territorial and, according to history, has demonstrated a violent streak. How could such a creature have developed the peaceful impulse to ensure everyone gets their fair share?Some have surmised that equality was a last-gasp measure: the guarantee of peace to avert self-annihilation. However, a closer examination of the phenomenon across the existence of Homo sapiens illuminates a naturalistic solution to the puzzle. Lantz Miller traces the early advancements of our species to argue that, rather than concocting equality to forestall self-annihilation, it was forged through a lived condition of freedom over hundreds of thousands of years. Bringing together insights from both philosophy and anthropology, The Roots of Equality: Anthropological and Normative Sources investigates how our foraging ancestors came to thrive in egalitarian communities without sacrificing autonomy along the way.
