ISBN: 9780192892454 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What is ethics? Where does it come from? Can we really hope to find any rational way of deciding how we ought to live? If we can, what would it be like, and how are we going to know when we have found it? To capture the essentials of what we know about the origins and nature of ethics, Peter Singer has drawn on anthropology, evolution, game theory, and works of fiction, in addition to the classic moral philosophy of such thinkers as Nietzsche, Kant, and Confucius. By choosing some of the finest pieces of writing, old and new, in and about ethics, he conveys the intellectual excitement of the...

The Expanding Circle: Ethics, Evolution, and Moral Progress
ISBN: 9780691150697 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What is ethics? Where do moral standards come from? Are they based on emotions, reason, or some innate sense of right and wrong? For many scientists, the key lies entirely in biology--especially in Darwinian theories of evolution and self-preservation. But if evolution is a struggle for survival, why are we still capable of altruism? In his classic study The Expanding Circle, Peter Singer argues that altruism began as a genetically based drive to protect one's kin and community members but has developed into a consciously chosen ethic with an expanding circle of moral...

Rethinking Life and Death : The Collapse of Our Traditional Ethics
ISBN: 9780192861849 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A victim of the Hillsborough Disaster in 1989, Anthony Bland lay in hospital in a coma being fed liquid food by a pump, via a tube passing through his nose and into his stomach. On 4 February 1993 Britain's highest court ruled that doctors attending him could lawfully act to end his life. Our traditional ways of thinking about life and death are collapsing.

Does Anything Really Matter?: Essays on Parfit on Objectivity
ISBN: 9780199653836 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the first two volumes of On What Matters Derek Parfit argues that there are objective moral truths, and other normative truths about what we have reasons to believe, and to want, and to do. He thus challenges a view of the role of reason in action that can be traced back to David Hume, and is widely assumed to be correct, not only by philosophers but also by economists. In defending his view, Parfit argues that if there are no objective normative truths, nihilism follows, and nothing matters. He criticizes, often forcefully, many leading contemporary philosophers working on the...
