Showing titles in Ethics & Morality

In Genealogia della morale, Friedrich Nietzsche conduce un'indagine radicale sulle origini dei valori morali, mettendo in discussione l'idea che essi siano eterni e universali. Attraverso un'analisi storica e psicologica, l'autore mostra come la morale dominante nasca dal risentimento e dalla volontà di rivalsa dei deboli, che trasformano l'impotenza in virtù. I concetti di colpa, coscienza e sacrificio vengono interpretati come strumenti di controllo e di repressione degli istinti vitali.

ବାହାରର ଧନ ନୁହେଁ, ଭିତରର ଧନ ପାଇବା ପାଇଁ ଧ୍ୟାନ ହିଁ ଦରକାର! ଧନ ପାଇଁ ଗୋଟିଏ ପରେ ଗୋଟିଏ ନରହତ୍ୟା କରୁକରୁ ଧ୍ୟାନସ୍ଥ ହୋଇଥିଲେ...

Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (1785) is the first of Immanuel Kant's mature works on moral philosophy and remains one of the most important in the field. Kant examines the core concepts and principles of moral theory, showing that they are normative for rational agents. He aspires to lay bare the fundamental principle of morality and prove that it applies to us. Kant offers the argument that the rightness of an action is determined by the character of the principle that a person chooses to act upon.

In the Nicomachean Ethics (so called after their first editor, Aristotle's son Nicomachus) Aristotle sets out to discover the good life for man: the life of happiness or eudaimonia. Happiness for Aristotle is the activity of the soul in accordance with virtue. Virtue is shown in the deliberate choice of actions as part of a worked-out plan of life, a plan which takes a middle course between excess and deficiency.

When we’re moving at 115 MPH, we rarely see the wall coming. But it comes for all of us and when it does, we grasp for lessons, for meaning, for purpose. Each moment (good or bad) and each win or loss, provides us an opportunity to learn, and if we choose to take it, that opportunity can change our lives - and the world - for the better. The human spirit craves connection. Authenticity. Belonging. Touch. Gratitude. Purpose. We need to make our interactions count.

A professor emeritus of philosophy at Princeton University, Harry G. Frankfurt penned a surprise smash hit with his New York Times best seller On Bullshit, which insightfully and wittily captured the human capacity for, and tendency toward, BS. Now he examines the other side of the coin with this equally entertaining and provocative follow-up.

In this Tenth Anniversary Edition of The Life You Can Save, Peter Singer brings his landmark book up to date. In addition to restating his compelling arguments about how we should respond to extreme poverty, he examines the progress we are making and recounts how the first edition transformed...

The ancient biographer and essayist Plutarch thought deeply about the leadership qualities of the eminent Greeks and Romans he profiled in his famous - and massive - Lives, including politicians and generals such as Pericles, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Mark Antony. Luckily for us, Plutarch distilled what he learned about wise leadership in a handful of essays, which are filled with essential lessons for experienced and aspiring leaders in any field today.

David Hume (1711-1776) is perhaps best known for his ideas about cause and effect and his criticisms of religion, but he is rarely thought of as a philosopher with practical wisdom to offer. Yet Hume's philosophy is grounded in an honest assessment of nature - human nature in particular. The Great Guide is an engaging and eye-opening account of how Hume's thought should serve as the basis for a complete approach to life. Julian Baggini masterfully interweaves biography with intellectual history and philosophy to give us a complete vision of Hume's guide to life.

Shortly before he died, Plenty Coups, the last great Chief of the Crow Nation, told his story - up to a certain point. "When the buffalo went away the hearts of my people fell to the ground", he said, "and they could not lift them up again. After this nothing happened." It is precisely this point - that of a people faced with the end of their way of life - that prompts the philosophical and ethical inquiry pursued in Radical Hope. In Jonathan Lear's view, Plenty Coups' story raises a profound ethical question that transcends his time and challenges us all.

The ticking bomb scenario is a thought experiment designed to demonstrate that torture can be justified in emergency conditions. If there was a bomb hidden somewhere in a major city, would it be justified to torture a captured informant in order to obtain the critical information that could prevent a devastating terrorist attack? In How to Justify Torture, cultural critic Alex Adams examines this thought experiment in depth by exploring the wide range of cultural productions. By critiquing the argument step-by-step, this audiobook reminds us why torture can never be justified.

Although Roe v. Wade identified abortion as a constitutional right 45 years ago, it still bears stigma - a proverbial scarlet A. In public discussion, both proponents and opponents of abortion's legality tend to focus on extraordinary cases. This tendency keeps the national debate polarized and contentious. Professor Katie Watson focuses instead on the cases that happen the most, which she calls "ordinary abortion". Scarlet A gives the reflective listener a more accurate impression of what the majority of American abortion practice really looks like.

జాలరుల కుగ్రామంగా మొదలైన విశాఖపట్నం , రెండో ప్రపంచ యుద్ధం తరువాత మహానగరంగా అవతరించడానికి మూలకారణమైన భౌగోళిక విశేషం యారాడ కొండ. విశాఖపట్నం ఎదుగుదలకు అదొక కొండగుర్తు. ఎంతో మందికి ఉపాధినీ, కొంత మందికి సంపదనూ ప్రసాదించిన బంగారు కొండ అది. ఆ కొండ విశాఖపట్నం కథను చెప్పుకొస్తే అది ఎలా ఉంటుంది? గడచిన వందేళ్ల కాలంలో అక్కడి మనుషులూ, వాళ్ల ఆశలు, ఆశయాలూ, వ్యధలూ, బాధలూ, సుఖ సంతోషాలనూ, అలాగే వీటన్నింటినీ నడిపించిన శక్తులనూ యారాడ కొండ నమోదుచేసి వినిపించిన గాథకు నవలా రూపం ఈ రచన.

In the wake of white nationalist attacks, the ongoing debate over reparations, and the controversy surrounding Confederate monuments and the contested memories they evoke, Susan Neiman's Learning from the Germans delivers an urgently needed perspective on how a country can come to terms with its historical wrongdoings. Neiman is a white woman who came of age in the civil rights-era South and a Jewish woman who has spent much of her adult life in Berlin.

Ewolucja człowieka a w szczególności jego umysłu jest jedną z największych zagadek natury. Koncepcja inteligencji makiawelicznej wyjaśnia w jaki sposób złożoność życia społecznego doprowadziła do powstania tak złożonego mózgu jakim obecnie dysponujemy. Autor wyjaśnia pochodzenie inteligencji społecznej i politycznej. Pokazuje w jaki sposób teoria umysłu, czyli umiejętność przewidywania motywów działania innych osobników stymulowała rozwój naszej inteligencji, w jaki sposób wykształcała się w nas umiejętność obrony przedmakiawelicznymi zakusami innych.

Much of today's media tells us to be thinner, richer, and more successful. This book tells us how to be nicer.

This is a guidebook to the uncharted landscape of niceness, gently exploring the key themes of this often overlooked quality.
