He then turns to military honor codes, exploring their ethical implications and challenges. From there, the discussion transitions to...

Seeking Identity: Individualism Versus Community in an Ethnic Context
ISBN: 9780700607303 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When Raymond Belliotti was twelve, he stole from a local merchant. After making restitution and apologies, he was faced with his mother's Italian-American pride and wrath--he had besmirched the family name, reinforced stereotypical criminal images of Italian-Americans, and repaid the sacrifices of his parents and grandparents with disgrace. The message was clear--his self-indulgent greed had taken down an entire family network. But later that night his mother symbolically welcomed him back into the fold by baking his favorite cookies. The family survived and he never stole again. In...

Good Sex: Perspectives on Sexual Ethics
ISBN: 9780700606054 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Rules about sexuality, written and unwritten, have existed in every culture as have disagreements over what is and isn't acceptable. Must morally permissible sex have only one function? Must it be heterosexual? Must it occur within the confines of the institution of marriage? Must it be accompanied by requisite emotions such as love and intimacy? Addressing questions of sexuality that philosophers have pondered for centuries, Raymond Belliotti covers a myriad of issues, including the origin of gender and reproductive roles, the function of morally permissible sex, heterosexuality and...

Power: Oppression, Subservience, and Resistance
ISBN: 9781438459554 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Frequently understood in simplistic and often highly negative terms, the concept of power has proven to be both uncommonly intriguing and maddeningly elusive. In Power, Raymond Angelo Belliotti begins by fashioning a general definition of power that is refined enough to capture the numerous types of power in all their multifaceted complexity. He then proceeds in a series of discrete yet thematically connected meditations to explore the meaning of power in ancient, modern, and contemporary thought. In grappling with the critical questions surrounding the accumulation, distribution, and...

Jesus or Nietzsche : How Should We Live Our Lives?
ISBN: 9789042036598 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book reconstructs the cornerstones of Jesus's moral teachings about how to lead a good, even exemplary, human life. It does so in a way that is compatible with the most prominent, competing versions of the historical Jesus. The work also contrast Jesus' understanding of the best way to lead our lives with that of Friedrich Nietzsche. Both Jesus and Nietzsche were self-consciously moral revolutionaries. Jesus refashioned the imperatives of Jewish law to conform to what he was firmly convinced was the divine will. Nietzsche aspired to transvalue the dominant values of his time -which...

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...

Shakespeare and Philosophy : Lust, Love, and Law
ISBN: 9789042035973 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is an interdisciplinary work that weaves literary interpretation, legal theory, and philosophical doctrine about sex and love into a coherent mosaic in the context of two of Shakespeare's plays: "The Merchant of Venice "and "Measure for Measure." In the process, the work advances literary interpretations of the plays including character studies of some of the main protagonists. The aim is partly theoretical but mostly practical: to demonstrate what we can learn about living a robustly meaningful and significant human life by taking Shakespeare's work seriously from contemporary...
