Beyond Neutrality: Perfectionism and Politics
ISBN: 9780521570688 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many people, including many contemporary philosophers, believe that the state has no business trying to improve people's characters, or elevate their tastes, or prevent them from living degraded lives. They believe that governments should remain absolutely neutral when it comes to the consideration of competing conceptions of the good. One fundamental aim of George Sher's book is to show that this view is indefensible. A second complementary aim is to articulate a conception of the good that is worthy of promotion by the state.

In Praise of Blame
ISBN: 9780195187427 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Blame is an unpopular and neglected notion: it goes against the grain of a therapeutically-oriented culture and has received relatively little philosophical attention. This book discusses questions about its nature, normative status, and relation to character. The book's most important conclusion is that blame is inseparable from morality itself.

Equality for Inegalitarians
ISBN: 9781107009578 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book offers a new and compelling account of distributive justice and its relation to choice. Unlike luck egalitarians, who treat unchosen differences in people's circumstances as sources of unjust inequality to be overcome, Sher views such differences as pervasive and unavoidable features of the human situation. Appealing to an original account of what makes us moral equals, he argues that our interest in successfully negotiating life's ever-shifting contingencies is more basic than our interest in achieving any more specific goals. He argues, also, that the state's obligation to promote...

Who Knew?: Responsibility Without Awareness
ISBN: 9780195389203 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. To be responsible for their acts, agents must both perform those acts voluntarily and in some sense know what they are doing. Of these requirements, the voluntariness condition has been much discussed, but the epistemic condition has received far less attention. In Who Knew? George Sher seeks to rectify that imbalance. The book is divided in two halves, the first of which criticizes a popular but inadequate way of understanding the epistemic condition, while the second seeks to develop a more adequate alternative. It is often assumed that agents are responsible only for what they are...

ISBN: 9780847687541 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this engaging and provocative book, Sher explores the normative moral and social problems that arise from living in a decidedly non-ideal world_a world that contains immorality, evil, and injustice, and in which resources (including knowledge) are often inadequate. Sher confronts difficult issues surrounding preferential treatment and equal opportunity, compensatory justice and punishment, the allocation of goods, and moral compromise.

In Praise of Blame
ISBN: 9780195339314 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Blame is an unpopular and neglected notion: it goes against the grain of a therapeutically-oriented culture and has been far less discussed by philosophers than such related notions as responsibility and punishment. This book seeks to show that neither the opposition nor the neglect is justified. The book's most important conclusion is that blame is inseparable from morality itself--that any considerations that justify us in accepting a set of moral principles must also call for the condemnation of those who violate the principles. Properly understood, blame and morality must stand or fall...

Me, You, Us: Essays
ISBN: 9780190660413 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The essays in Me, You, Us address a range of issues in moral philosophy, political philosophy, and moral psychology, but are unified by their starkly individualistic view of the moral subject. That view regards persons as permanently separated from others by the impenetrability of their subjectivities, and hence as the sole ultimate bearers of both interests and responsibility. Because they are organized around a strong form of moral individualism, the essays challenge recent tendencies to conceptualize normative issues in terms of relationships, collectivities, and social meanings....
