Reputation and Character

Reputation is what others think of us; character is what we are. The word character, in its primary meaning, signifies a stamp, an engraved mark. Character is the stamp of our nature, or that which marks our very being. Reputation usually flows from character, but not always. Character is fundamental; a part of us. Reputation is transitory, and may be false or true.
A good character, then, is the first object of interest to everyone who desires a good name .

Love and Eugenics among the Late Victorians is a fascinating, lucid, and controversial study of the centrality of eugenic debate to the Victorians. Reappraising the operation of social and sexual power in Victorian society and fiction, it makes a radical contribution to English studies, nineteenth-century and gender studies, and the history of science.

Our Posthuman Future Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution by Francis Fukuyama (Author)

A decade after his now-famous pronouncement of “the end of history,” Francis Fukuyama argues that as a result of biomedical advances, we are facing the possibility of a future in which our humanity itself will be altered beyond recognition. Fukuyama sketches a brief history of man’s changing understanding of human nature: from Plato and Aristotle to the modernity’s utopians and dictators who sought to remake mankind for ideological ends. Fukuyama argues that the ability to manipulate the DNA of all of one person’s descendants will have profound, and potentially terrible, consequences for our political order, even if undertaken with the best of intentions. In Our Posthuman Future, one of our greatest social philosophers begins to describe the potential effects of genetic exploration on the foundation of liberal democracy: the belief that human beings are equal by nature.
