The Rational and the Moral Order
ISBN: 9780812692648 / Angielski / Miękka / 447 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'The Rational and the Moral Order' is a significant book providing a comprehensive theory of morality. The opening chapter is simply marvellous. Baier provides a cogent response to Hume's conundrums on practical reasoning: logical entailment, he argues, is not the correct model of the relation between reasons and that for which they are reasons. Indeed, the giving of reasons is, in part, a social enterprise, and there is no necessary connection between rationality and self-interest. Just as the giving of reasons is a social enterprise taught to succeeding generations, so too is the moral...

As this volume testifies, there is no agreement on the important questions...

Impossible Dreams : Rationality, Integrity And Moral Imagination
ISBN: 9780813326405 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conventional wisdom and commonsense morality tend to take the integrity of persons for granted. But for people in systematically unjust societies, self-respect and human dignity may prove to be impossible dreams.Susan Babbitt explores the implications of this insight, arguing that in the face of systemic injustice, individual and social rationality may require the transformation rather than the realization of deep-seated aims, interests, and values. In particular, under such conditions, she argues, the cultivation and ongoing exercise of moral imagination is necessary to discover and defend a...

ISBN: 9780813529868 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There are few issues more divisive than what has become known as "the right to die." One camp upholds "death with dignity," regarding the terminally ill as autonomous beings capable of forming their own judgment on the timing and process of dying. The other camp advocates "sanctity of life," regarding life as intrinsically valuable, and believes that it should be sustained for as long as possible. Is there a right answer? Raphael Cohen-Almagor takes a balanced approach in analyzing this emotionally charged debate, viewing the dispute from public policy and international perspectives. His...

ISBN: 9780813530451 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Linda Holler proposes that ethics consider touch as the center of moral life rather than disciplines designed to control the body and feeling. The book first explores the world of autism, where all touch is painful. Holler considers strategies employed by autistic individuals who attempt to outwit their own defenses against physical and emotional engagement with others. Such strategies become a foundation upon which to consider how our own sensory systems are like those of the...
