Introduction

This website is free as always without any advertisements to bother or annoy you. The author cares deeply for your attention and his own, and has always disliked having to see advertisements and marketing on websites that only had some small bits of useful information. The author also greatly dislikes having to have subscriptions to materials that are of better quality, that writers would like others to have readily. The author is greatly in favor of enabling easy access to good quality information and for enabling the research of those who have difficulty finding good materials quickly to continue their thinking and writing on topics that would help others.

This website is the free digital Book and Journal of Mattanaw, available to all without distractions.

However, print publications are also extremely desirable and usable. While the author can provide free content using his own resources digitally online, here, he cannot freely provide print publications. Additionally, it is best if there is some way to earn off of efforts. For this purpose the Book and Journal of Mattanaw can be subscribed to in print, and individual book issues can be purchased individually. The Book and Journal of Mattanaw is large, and the print materials also provides a way to hand-select relevant content the reader might be most interested in, to provide in a format that is more easily read.

Below are subscription options along with books for purchase. Purchases contribute to the author’s writing and also his publishing company, that he hopes will have low enough costs in the future to invite other readers for publishing their works. Initially what is offered are special works of quality and interest from the author. These same works appear in this digital copy of the Book and Journal of Mattanaw, but are in a good quality print format, enabling reading anywhere and easy scanning of pages and images. Book proceeds go to the author for continuing his work and for the building and development of his publishing company. They come in two formats, a standard paperback format, and a hard or clothbound format with a greater donation, that provides extra support and a better quality result. Purchases and subscriptions in the higher categories result in being named donors acknowledged for support in all the versions of the print and hard/clothbound books.

Subscribe

One can subscribe to the Book and Journal of Mattanaw by making a donation on the following GoFundMe:

[Subscription availalbe on Square and GoFundMe Soon]

One can donate any amount to support, but donations of $500 or more result in subscriptions to future issues.

Books for Purchase

For books that have already been published, it is too late to acknowledge there, but if an earlier edition of the book is purchased in hard or clothbount format, the buyer/supporter will be acknowledged in print in the next book released instead.

Abandoning Equality

Abandoning Equality is a work of moral philosophy and ethics challenging equalitarianism, with the objective of pushing forward fairness and justice. It is the view of the author that people are ambivalent about their commitments to equality, and that we have obstructed pathways to fairness with confusions about what equality consists of.

Purchase on Square here: https://checkout.square.site/merchant/MLEWSCDXYG3QV/checkout/634SU3P4HJOD4C2H7CELTMNM

This book comes in two editions, a standard paperback edition, and a special clothbound edition, with print acknowledgement.

The special clothbound edition ensures the buyer of having print acknowledgement of their name in all editions of the texts, where former President Barack and Michelle Obama are also acknowledged. The author worked for the President on a number of occasions between 2010 and 2015.

Also acknowlwdged are famous writers, internationally recognized, with whom the author has corresponded, including Daniel Dennett, Peter Singer, and Noam Chomsky. Also mentioned are prominent figures in the High Intelligence Community in which the author frequently publishes and interacts.

The standard print edition is a paperback edition that is a normal book purchase without extra donation and still happily supports the author and his new publishing company. Book delivery is on January 1st, 2024.

The cost includes international delivery.

Matt Cavanaugh
Mattanaw I., formerly "Christopher Matthew Cavanaugh"

I am a retired executive, software architect, and consultant, with professional/academic experience in the fields of Moral Philosophy and Ethics, Computer Science, Psychology, Philosophy, and more recently, Economics. I am a Pandisciplinarian, and Lifetime Member of the High Intelligence Community.

Articles on this site are eclectic, and draw from content prepared between 1980 and present. Topics include ethics, art, fitness, finances, health, psychology, and vegetarianism. The common theme connecting all articles is moral philosophy, even if that is not immediately apparent. Any of my articles that touch on "the good and virtuous life" will be published here. These articles interrelate with my upcoming theory of ethics, two decades in preparation.

I welcome and appreciate constructive feedback and conversation with readers. You can reach me at mattanaw@mattanaw.com (site related), cmcavanaugh@g.harvard.edu (academic related), or christopher.matthew.cavanaugh@member.mensa.org (intelligence related), or via the other social media channels in which I have a profile.
