Books by Alex King

If we are morally obligated to do something does it entail one having the ability to do it? In this book Alex King sheds some much-needed light on the important but controversial 'ought implies can' debate.

Taking as its focus memorials of the World War I in Britain, this book studies public symbols by exploring how different motives for commemorating the dead were reconciled through the processes of local politics to create a widely valued form of collective expression.
