Posthumous Harm: Why the Dead are Still Vulnerable
ISBN: 9780739185995 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Reasonable people agree that, other things being equal, it is immoral to fail to fulfill deathbed promises, to maliciously defame the dead, and to mistreat corpses. But philosophical controversy swirls over why such acts are morally wrong. Are these acts wrong only because they violate moral norms against breaking promises, lying, and abusing others? Are these acts morally deficient because they wrong the dead? Are these acts morally wrong because they harm or injure the dead? Or are these acts blameworthy because they wrong, harm, or injure those who survive the deaths? Who are the genuine...

Happiness Is Overrated
ISBN: 9780742533622 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Happiness Is Overrated begins with an historical overview of the development of the concept of 'happiness' from Plato to contemporary writers, highlighting the best scholarship emerging from philosophy, psychology, and sociology. Belliotti includes practical advice on how to attain happiness and addresses issues centered on the meaning of life. Happiness, he argues, is not the greatest personal good, or even a great good in itself. In fact, sometimes happiness isn't a good at all. If we pursue worthwhile, exemplary lives and find happiness along the way, then we are lucky. If we don't, then...

ISBN: 9780313307003 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This introduction to Nietzsche's thought is geared to those who approach his work with grave skepticism. Belliotti begins each chapter with a brief exposition of a broad theme in Nietzsche's work, raising important questions of interpretation. He then turns the discussion into a dialogue between two characters who, in the topics they address, exemplify rather than merely explain Nietzsche's broad themes. In this manner, "Stalking Nietzsche" focuses on the connection between philosophy and living: How can reading Nietzsche change one's life? What links are there between accepting...

Jesus the Radical: The Parables and Modern Morality
ISBN: 9781498516242 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Jesus the Radical: The Parables and Modern Morality connects the lessons of six parables of the New Testament with philosophical issues structured around contemporary morality and the art of leading a good human life. In this manner, Raymond Angelo Belliotti highlights just how radical was the historical Jesus' moral message and how enormous a challenge he raised to the conventional wisdom of his time. More important, this book demonstrates how deeply opposed is Jesus' moral message to the dominant moral understandings of our time. Although our conventional morality is generally profoundly...

Dostoevsky's Legal and Moral Philosophy: The Trial of Dmitri Karamazov
ISBN: 9789004325418 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This work closely examines the trial of Dmitri Karamazov as the springboard to explaining and critically assessing Dostoevsky's legal and moral philosophy. The author connects Dostoevsky's objections to Russia's acceptance of western juridical notions such as the rule of law and an adversary system of adjudication with his views on fundamental human nature, the principle of universal responsibility, and his invocation of unconditional love. Central to Dostoevsky's vision is his understanding of the relationship between the dual human yearnings for individualism and community. In the process,...

Niccolo Machiavelli: The Laughing Lion and the Strutting Fox
ISBN: 9780739130636 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Machiavelli is usually understood as a thinker who separated morality from politics or who championed Roman, pagan morality over conventional, Christian morality. Belliotti argues, instead, that Machiavelli's innovation is his understanding of the perhaps irresolvable moral conflicts that exist within political leaders who fulfill the duties of their offices while accepting the authority of absolute moral principles. Machiavelli is a moral pessimist who insists that politicians must 'risk their souls' when performing their public responsibilities. Politicians and military leaders must dirty...

This book is a philosophical investigation of the concepts of honor and authenticity, informed by the paradoxes of the individual-community continuum. To achieve this difficult balancing act, the author refines our concepts of both honor and authenticity. Raymond Angelo Belliotti begins by investigating honor as a moral and social framework, analyzing its historical significance, particularly within the Roman aristocracy, and its portrayal in The Godfather. He then turns to military honor codes, exploring their ethical implications and challenges. From there, the discussion transitions to...
