He is an exceptional musician and songwriter that has broken through with new and fresh music in a tough environment. I look forward to making many more hits and breaking new artists with him in the future.” Lisa Ellis Former Executive Vice President Sony Music Label Group Tozertunes Publishing | [email protected] Billboard Magazine February 2006 “Get Lifted doesn’t only introduce a gripping new voice to the R&B firmament, it brings the genre something it often sadly lacks: songs so strong that others would clamor to cover them. The tunes he penned with his co-writers regularly upstage the beats, and rarely do they rely on production-generated atmosphere for camouflage. Legend had help on the compositions, most often from producer Dave Tozer. Legend‘s vocal conviction is supported by his taste and skill at penning or collaborating on compositions. As debuts go, Get Lifted couldn’t be more promising.” Jim Farber Music Critic New York Daily News Tozertunes Publishing | [email protected] Social Media Twitter MySpace Facebook Tozertunes Publishing | [email protected].

  • Our Obligations to Act Together
    1 Our Obligations to Act Together Luke Devereux University College London MPhil Stud Philosophical Studies 2 Declaration I, Luke Devereux, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract In 1970 Virginia Held wrote a paper in which she asked the reader to imagine a fictional scenario in which some strangers become bystanders to a murder whilst riding public transport. Held was interested in questions of moral responsibility – specifically, could the group of bystanders be morally responsible for its failure to act? This thesis uses Held’s example as a lens through which to ask a series of questions about moral responsibility and blame, in the hope that the answers to these questions can provide insight into our real-world duties to act with others. Given that many problems facing society can plausibly only be overcome by groups of people acting together, it is important that we have a good understanding of how we are morally required to behave collectively. After a short introduction to Held’s example and some clarificatory remarks, the first chapter of the thesis is dedicated to an enquiry into the nature of moral responsibility and blame. The second chapter examines Held’s proposal that we should hold the group qua group morally responsible for its failure to act. I argue that, whilst in other contexts it is appropriate to hold groups qua groups morally responsible for their acts, the bystanders in Held’s example do not constitute a kind of group which is capable of being morally responsible.

  • The Mystery of Being Lifted Upwards
    The Mystery of the Cross: the mystery of being lifted upwards ‘And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself’ (John 12: 32) The Great Lent John 12: 20 – 36 Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast. Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus. But Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honour. “Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.” Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.” Jesus answered and said, “This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.
