Why Worry about Future Generations?
ISBN: 9780198854869 / Angielski / Miękka / 2020 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The things we do today may make life worse for future generations. But why should we care what happens to people who won't be born until after all of us are gone? Some philosophers have treated this as a question about our moral responsibilities, and have argued that we have duties of beneficence to promote the well-being of our descendants. Rather than focusing exclusively on issues of moral responsibility, Samuel Scheffler considers the broader question of why and how future generations matter to us. Although we lack a developed set of ideas about the value of human continuity, we are...

Śmierć i życie po śmierci
ISBN: 9788381422239 / Polski / Miękka ze skrzydełka / 2019 / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Pytanie o istnienie życia po śmierci ma dla każdego człowieka kluczowe znaczenie – zarówno gdy dotyczy pragnienia osobistej kontynuacji życia, jak i przetrwania ludzkości jako zbiorowości. Samuel Scheffler analizuje w swoich wykładach wpływ obu tych perspektyw życia po śmierci na nasze postawy a także stawia hipotezy odnośnie do siły ich oddziaływania na postrzeganie przez człowieka sensu życia i przyjęty system wartości. Jego intrygujące i nowatorskie spojrzenie uzupełniają komentarze takich czołowych amerykańskich filozofów, jak: Susan Wolf, Harry G. Frankfurt,...

Consequentialism and Its Critics
ISBN: 9780198750734 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Consequentialism is a moral doctrine stating that the right act in any given situation is the one that will produce the best overall outcome, as judged from an impersonal standpoint giving equal weight to the interests of everyone. It has been criticized, however, on the grounds that it fails to capture the most crucial features of moral thinking and cannot, when worked out in detail, provide an adequate account of morality. This volume presents papers discussing arguments on both sides of the consequentialist debate. The contributors include John Rawls, Bernard Williams, Thomas Nagel, Derek...

Human Morality
ISBN: 9780195085648 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Some people believe that the demands of morality coincide with the requirements of an enlightened self-interest. Others believe that morality is diametrically opposed to considerations of self-interest. This book argues that there is another position, intermediate between these extremes, which makes better sense of the totality of our moral thought and practice. Scheffler elaborates this position via an examination of morality's content, scope, authority, and deliberative role. Although conflicts between morality and self-interest do arise, according to this position, nevertheless morality is...

ISBN: 9780199899579 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This collection of essays by noted philosopher Samuel Scheffler combines discussion of abstract questions in moral and political theory with attention to the normative dimension of current social and political controversies.

Uniting the essays is a shared preoccupation...

The Rejection of Consequentialism: A Philosophical Investigation of the Considerations Underlying Rival Moral Conceptions
ISBN: 9780198235118 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In contemporary philosophy, substantive moral theories are typically classified as either consequentialist or deontological. Standard consequentialist theories insist, roughly, that agents must always act so as to produce the best available outcomes overall. Standard deontological theories, by contrast, maintain that there are some circumstances where one is permitted but not required to produce the best overall results, and still other circumstances in which one is positively forbidden to do so. Classical utilitarianism is the most familiar consequentialist view, but it is widely regarded as...

This exceptional work--a collection of eleven essays by one of the most fascinating moral philosophers currently writing--explores a perspective that is at once sympathetic towards and critical of liberal political philosophy.

Death and the Afterlife
ISBN: 9780199982509 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Suppose you knew that, though you yourself would live your life to its natural end, the earth and all its inhabitants would be destroyed thirty days after your death. To what extent would you remain committed to your current projects and plans? Would scientists still search for a cure for cancer? Would couples still want children? In Death and the Afterlife, philosopher Samuel Scheffler poses this thought experiment in order to show that the continued life of the human race after our deaths--the "afterlife" of the title--matters to us to an astonishing and previously neglected...
