Logic and Reality in the Philosophy of John Stuart Mill
ISBN: 9789027727398 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. 'Nobody reads Mill today, ' wrote a reviewer in Time magazine a few years ago. One could scarcely praise Mr Melvin Maddocks, who penned that remark, for his awareness of the present state of Mill studies, for of all nineteenth century philosophers who wrote in English, it is 1. S. Mill who remains the most read today. Yet it would not be so far from the truth to say that very few people pay much serious attention nowadays to Mill's writings about logic and metaphysics (as distinct from those on ethical and social issues), despite the fact that Mill put enormous effort into their composition...

Judging the Past
ISBN: 9783031345104 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book presents an extended argument for the thesis that people of the present day are not debarred in principle from passing moral judgement on people who lived in former days, notwithstanding the inevitable differences in social and cultural circumstances that separate us. Some philosophers argue that because we can see things only from our own peculiar historical situation, we lack a sufficiently objective vantage point from which to appraise past people and their acts. If they are correct, then the judgements passed by twenty-first-century people must inevitably...

After Evil: Responding to Wrongdoing
ISBN: 9780754638469 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Evils, both large and small, are a constant feature of human life. This book is about responding to them and in particular about responding to moral evils, that is, those produced by the deliberate acts of human beings. Prominent in our repertoire of responses to moral evil are forgiveness and punishment, and these, with the numerous conceptual and moral problems they raise, are at the heart of the study in this book. After discussing the idea of evil, Scarre turns to the meaning of forgiveness and the conditions for granting it. He defends a broadly utilitarian approach that stresses the...

Utilitarianism
ISBN: 9781138150072 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Surveying the historical development and the present condition of utilitarian ethics, Geoffrey Scarre examines the major philosophers from Lao Tzu in the fifth century BC to Richard Hare in the twentieth.
Utilitarianism traces the 'doctrine of utility' from the moralists of the ancient world, through the Enlightenment and Victorian utilitarianism up to the lively debate of the present day. Utilitarianism today faces challenges on several fronts: it cannot warrant the drawing of adequate protective boundaries around the essential interests of individuals, and it does not allow...

Witchcraft and Magic in Sixteenth- And Seventeenth-Century Europe
ISBN: 9780333920824 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In their study of witchcraft and magic in 16th and 17th-century Europe, Geoffrey Scarre and John Callow provide an examination of the theoretical and intellectual rationales which made prosecution for the crime acceptable to the continent's judiciaries. Crucial to their approach is the conflict between supposedly rational and irrational systems of belief. Through the use of scholarship in the fields of anthropology, gender and historical studies, they present a vision of witch belief as central rather than, as was once thought, peripheral to intellectual and theological debate in early modern...

Death
ISBN: 9780773532410 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 175 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What is death? How should the knowledge of our finitude affect the living of our lives and what are the virtues suitable to mortal beings? Does death destroy the meaningfulness of life or would life that never ended be eternally and absurdly tedious? Can death really be an evil if, after death, we no longer exist as subjects of goods or evils? How should we respond to the deaths of others and do we have any duties towards the dead?

On Courage
ISBN: 9780415471138 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What is courage and why is it one of the oldest and most universally admired virtues? How is it relevant in the world today, and what contemporary forms does it take? In this insightful and crisply written book, Geoffrey Scarre examines these questions and many more. He begins by defining courage, asking how it differs from fearlessness, recklessness and fortitude, and why people are often more willing to ascribe it to others than to avow it for themselves. He also asks whether courage can serve bad ends as well as good, and whether it can sometimes promote confrontation over...
