Best Things in Life: A Guide to What Really Matters
ISBN: 9780195331424 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For centuries, philosophers, theologians, moralists, and ordinary people have asked: How should we live? What makes for a good life?
In The Best Things in Life, distinguished philosopher Thomas Hurka takes a fresh look at these perennial questions as they arise for us now in the 21st century. Should we value family over career? How do we balance self-interest and serving others? What activities bring us the most joy? While religion, literature, popular psychology, and everyday wisdom all grapple with these questions, philosophy more than anything else uses the tools of reason to make...

Virtue, Vice, and Value
ISBN: 9780195158656 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What are virtue and vice, and how do they relate to other moral properties such as goodness and rightness? Thomas Hurka defends a distinctive perfectionist view according to which the virtues are higher-level intrinsic goods, ones that involve morally appropriate attitudes to other, independent goods and evils. He develops this highly original view in detail and argues for its superiority over rival views, including those given by virtue ethics.

Drawing Morals: Essays in Ethical Theory
ISBN: 9780199743094 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume contains selected essays in moral and political philosophy by Thomas Hurka. The essays address a wide variety of topics, from the well-rounded life and the value of playing games to proportionality in war and the ethics of nationalism. They also share a common aim: to illuminate the surprising richness and subtlety of our everyday moral thought by revealing its underlying structure, which they often do by representing that structure on graphs. More specifically, the essays all give what the first in the volume calls "structural" as against "foundational" analyses of moral views....

British Ethical Theorists from Sidgwick to Ewing
ISBN: 9780199233625 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Thomas Hurka presents the first full historical study of an important strand in the development of modern moral philosophy.

The best-known of them are Henry Sidgwick, G. E. Moore, and W. D. Ross; others include Hastings Rashdall, H. A. Prichard, C. D. Broad, and A. C. Ewing. They disagreed on some important topics, especially in normative ethics. Thus some were consequentialists and others deontologists:...

Perfectionism
ISBN: 9780195101164 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Perfectionism is one of the great moralities of the Western tradition. It holds that certain states of humans, such as knowledge, achievement, and friendship, are good apart from any pleasure they may bring, and that the morally right act is always the one that most promotes these states. Defined more narrowly, perfectionism identifies the human good by reference to human nature: if knowledge and achievement are good, it is because they realize aspects of human nature. This book gives an account of perfectionism, first in the narrower sense, analyzing its central concepts and defending a...

Underivative Duty: British Moral Philosophers from Sidgwick to Ewing
ISBN: 9780199577446 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. These ten new essays by leading contemporary philosophers constitute the first collective study of a group of British moral philosophers active between the 1870s and 1950s, including Henry Sidgwick, Hastings Rashdall, G.E. Moore, H.A. Prichard, W.D. Ross, and A.C. Ewing. The essays help recover the history of this neglected period: they treat it as a unity, draw out the connections between the thinkers, engage philosophically with their ideas, and in so doing show how much they can contribute to present-day philosophical debates.

Games, Sports, and Play: Philosophical Essays
ISBN: 9780198798354 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume presents new philosophical essays on a topic that's been neglected in most recent philosophy: games, sports, and play. Some contributions address conceptual questions about what games and sports have in common and that distinguishes them from other activities; here many take their start from Bernard Suits's celebrated analysis of game-playing in his book The Grasshopper and either elaborate it or propose an alternative to it. Other essays discuss normative issues that arise within games and sports, such as about fairness, for example in the treatment of male and female athletes....
