A Psychological Approach to Ethical Reality: Volume 132
ISBN: 9780444506399 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The pre-eminent 19th century British ethicist, Henry Sidgwick once said:
"All important ethical notions are also psychological, except perhaps the fundamental antitheses of 'good' and 'bad' and 'wrong', with which psychology, as it treats of what is and not of what ought to be, is not directly concerned" (quoted in T.N. Tice and T.P. Slavens, 1983). Sidgwick's statement can be interpreted to mean that psychology is relevant for ethics or that psychological knowledge contributes to the construction of an ethical reality. This interpretation serves as the basic impetus to this book,... The pre-eminent 19th century British ethicist, Henry Sidgwick once said:

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, evil remains as potent and radical a force in the world as it has ever been.

A Commentary on Cicero, de Officiis
ISBN: 9780472107193 / Angielski / Twarda / 760 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Toward the end of the last century Cicero's work came under attack from several angles. His political stance was sharply criticized for inconsistency by Theodor Mommsen and others, his philosophical works for lack of originality. Since then scholars have come to a better understanding of the political conditions that informed the views of Mommsen and his contemporaries about Caesar and Cicero, and as a result Cicero's writings have been restored to a more appropriate position in the literature and history of the Roman Republic. At the same time recent years have seen an intensive study of...

Enchiridion
ISBN: 9780486433592 / Angielski / Miękka / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although he was born into slavery and endured a permanent physical disability, Epictetus (ca. 50-ca. 130 AD) maintained that all people are free to control their lives and to live in harmony with nature. We will always be happy, he argued, if we learn to desire that things should be exactly as they are. After attaining his freedom, Epictetus spent his entire career teaching philosophy and advising a daily regimen of self-examination. His pupil Arrianus later collected and published the master's lecture notes; the Enchiridion, or Manual, is a distillation of Epictetus' teachings and an...

The second of Kant's three critiques, Critique of Practical Reason forms the center of Kantian philosophy; published in 1788, it is bookended by his Critique of Pure Reason and Critique of Judgement.

Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals
ISBN: 9780486443096 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What is morally permissible, and what is morally obligatory? These questions form the core of a vast amount of philosophical reasoning. In his Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals, Immanuel Kant developed a basis for the answers.
In this landmark work, the German philosopher asks what sort of maxim might function as a guide to appropriate action under a given set of circumstances. By universalizing such a maxim, would morally permissible behavior not become clear? Suppose that everyone were to behave in accordance with this maxim. If everyone followed the maxim in...

The Theory of Moral Sentiments
ISBN: 9780486452913 / Angielski / Miękka / 347 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The foundation for a general system of morals, this 1749 work is a landmark in the history of moral and political thought. Readers familiar with Adam Smith from "The Wealth of Nations" will find this earlier book a revelation. Although the author is often misrepresented as a calculating rationalist who advises the pursuit of self-interest in the marketplace, regardless of the human cost, he was also interested in the human capacity for benevolence -- as "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" amply demonstrates.
The greatest prudence, Smith suggests, may lie in following economic self-interest in... The foundation for a general system of morals, this 1749 work is a landmark in the history of moral and political thought. Readers familiar with Adam ...
