How Many Is Too Many?: The Progressive Argument for Reducing Immigration Into the United States
ISBN: 9780226190655 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. From the stony streets of Boston to the rail lines of California, from General Relativity to Google, one of the surest truths of our history is the fact that America has been built by immigrants. The phrase itself has become a steadfast campaign line, a motto of optimism and good will, and indeed it is the rallying cry for progressives today who fight against tightening our borders. This is all well and good, Philip Cafaro thinks, for the America of the past--teeming with resources, opportunities, and wide open spaces--but America isn't as young as it used to be, and the fact of the matter is...

ISBN: 9780820328430 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Thoreau's Living Ethics" is the first full, rigorous account of Henry Thoreau's ethical philosophy. Focused on "Walden" but ranging widely across his writings, the study situates Thoreau within a long tradition of ethical thinking in the West, from the ancients to the Romantics and on to the present day. Philip Cafaro shows Thoreau grappling with important ethical questions that agitated his own society and discusses his value for those seeking to understand contemporary ethical issues. Cafaro's particular interest is in Thoreau's treatment of virtue ethics: the branch of ethics... "Thoreau's Living Ethics" is the first full, rigorous account of Henry Thoreau's ethical philosophy.

Environmental Virtue Ethics
ISBN: 9780742533905 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. There is one certainty regarding the human relationship with nature-there is no getting away from it. But while a relationship with nature is a given, the nature of that relationship is not. Environmental ethics is the attempt to determine how we ought and ought not relate to the natural environment. A complete environmental ethic requires both an ethic of action and an ethic of character. Environmental virtue ethics is the area of environmental ethics concerned with character. It has been an underappreciated and underdeveloped aspect of environmental ethics-until now. The selections in this...
