The Fabric of Character: Aristotle's Theory of Virtue
ISBN: 9780198239178 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Most traditional accounts of Aristotle's theory of ethical education neglect its cognitive aspects. This book asserts that, in Aristotle's view, excellence of character comprises both the sentiments and practical reason. Sherman focuses particularly on four aspects of practical reason as they relate to character: moral perception, choicemaking, collaboration, and the development of those capacities in moral education. Throughout the book, she is sensitive to contemporary moral debates, and indicates the extent to which Aristotle's account of practical reason provides an alternative to...

Afterwar: Healing the Moral Wounds of Our Soldiers
ISBN: 9780199325276 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Movies like American Sniper and The Hurt Locker hint at the inner scars our soldiers incur during service in a war zone. The moral dimensions of their psychological injuries--guilt, shame, feeling responsible for doing wrong or being wronged-elude conventional treatment. Georgetown philosophy professor Nancy Sherman turns her focus to these moral injuries in Afterwar. She argues that psychology and medicine alone are inadequate to help with many of the most painful questions veterans are bringing home from war.
Trained in both ancient ethics and psychoanalysis,... Movies like American Sniper and The Hurt Locker hint at the inner scars our soldiers incur during service in a war zone. The moral d...

Aristotle's Ethics: Critical Essays
ISBN: 9780847689156 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 349 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The ethics of Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), and virtue ethics in general, have seen a resurgence of interest over the past few decades. No longer do utilitarianism and Kantian ethics on their own dominate the moral landscape. In addition, Aristotelian themes fill out that landscape, with such issues as the importance of friendship and emotions in a good life, the role of moral perception in wise choice, the nature of happiness and its constitution, moral education and habituation, finding a stable home in contemporary moral debate. The essays in this volume represent the best of that debate....

Stoic Warriors: The Ancient Philosophy Behind the Military Mind
ISBN: 9780195315912 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. While few soldiers may have read the works of Epictetus or Marcus Aurelius, it is undoubtedly true that the ancient philosophy known as Stoicism guides the actions of many in the military. Soldiers and seamen learn early in their training "to suck it up," to endure, to put aside their feelings and to get on with the mission.
Stoic Warriors is the first book to delve deeply into the ancient legacy of this relationship, exploring what the Stoic philosophy actually is, the role it plays in the character of the military (both ancient and modern), and its powerful value as a...

Making a Necessity of Virtue: Aristotle and Kant on Virtue
ISBN: 9780521564878 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Recent moral philosophy has seen a revival of interest in the concept of virtue, and with it a reassessment of the role of virtue in the work of Aristotle and Kant. This book brings that reassessment to a new level of sophistication. Nancy Sherman argues that Kant preserves a notion of virtue in his moral theory that bears recognizable traces of the Aristotelian and Stoic traditions, and that his complex anthropology of morals brings him into surprising alliance with Aristotle. She develops her argument through close readings of major texts by both Aristotle and Kant, illustrating points of...
