The Hacker's Temptation


Book Description

The story begun in The Hacker's Heart continues! He's always been secretive. Can he be trusted to love? The mysterious hacker Stryker13 is dead... as far as most people (and government agencies) need to know. In his place is a seemingly ordinary computer-science student named Luke Blankenship, ready to start a new life with the woman he loves. Melinda Rossiter is that woman. She didn't expect to fall in love with Luke, or to lose him, and most of all she didn't expect to get him back. After all they've been through, she'd be a fool not to take a chance on a relationship with him. But when staying with Luke means changing cities and giving up her meaningful job for a much worse one, Melinda starts to worry that the connection they forged isn't strong enough to sustain the day-to-day challenges of living together. And when he gets tempted to venture into high-level hacking again, she has to decide whether their love is worth upending—and quite possibly risking—her life. Please note: this is not a stand-alone story! It's best enjoyed after reading the prequel, The Hacker's Heart.

Historical Explanation


Book Description

This book is concerned with the appropriate form of explanations in historiography and the social sciences. It combines action theory and philosophy of historiography and develops a theory of teleological explanations of human actions based on late-Wittgensteinian and Ordinary Language Philosophy insights. In philosophy of action, many philosophers favor causal theories of human action. Additionally, in current philosophy of historiography the majority view is that historians should explain historical phenomena by their causes. This book pushes back against these mainstream views by reviving an anti-causal view of explanation of current and past human actions. The author argues that disciplines that deal with human actions require a certain form of explanation, namely a teleological or intentional explanation. This means that past human actions and their results will have to be explained by reasons of agents, not by causes. Therefore, historiography employs a method of explanation which is in stark contrast to the sciences. The author thus proposes a Verstehen (understanding) approach in historiography and the social sciences. Historical Explanation will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in philosophy of action, philosophy of history, and philosophy of the social sciences.
