The Nature of Evil
ISBN: 9780230602298 / Angielski / Miękka / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When human beings do horrifying things, are they evil? By exploring such popular literature as The Talented Mr. Ripley, Dante's Inferno, The Turn of the Screw, and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Koehn illustrates that the roots of human violence are not true evil but a symptom of our failure to really know who we are. It is this lack of understanding of ourselves that can lead humans to perform horrifying deeds, rather than 'evil' itself. This is a deep look into human nature, its beauty and its failings. The Nature of Evil offers an insightful and engaging exploration at a time...

Narrating Evil: A Postmetaphysical Theory of Reflective Judgment
ISBN: 9780231140300 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conceptions of evil have changed dramatically over time, and though humans continue to commit acts of cruelty against one another, today we possess a clearer, more moral way of analyzing them. In Narrating Evil, Maria Pia Lara explores what has changed in our understanding of evil, why the transformation matters, and how we can learn from this specific historical development. Drawing on Immanuel Kant's and Hannah Arendt's ideas about reflective judgment, Lara argues that narrative plays a key role in helping societies acknowledge their pasts. Particular stories haunt our...

ISBN: 9780292714335 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Is Nature Ever Evil?: Religion, Science and Value
ISBN: 9780415290609 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Can nature be evil, or ugly, or wrong? Can we apply moral value to nature?
From a compellingly original premise, under the auspices of major thinkers including Mary Midgley, Philip Hefner, Arnold Benz and Keith Ward, Is Nature Ever Evil? examines the value-structure of our cosmos and of the science that seeks to describe it. Science, says editor Willem B. Drees, claims to leave moral questions to aesthetic and religious theory. But the supposed neutrality of the scientific view masks a host of moral assumptions. How does an ethically transparent science arrive at... Can nature be evil, or ugly, or wrong? Can we apply moral value to nature?

Problem Of Evil: Vol 1
ISBN: 9780415318419 / Angielski / Twarda / 85 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From pre-Christian times until the present day, philosophers have discussed whether, given evil, belief in God can logically be maintained. Theists and non-theists remain unconvinced by one another's arguments. This study re-examines the question of God and evil from a neutral standpoint and claims that neither side has come to adequate grips either with the question itself or with the other side's case, chiefly because of failure to distinguish the kinds of problem raised by evil.

Good and Evil: An Absolute Conception
ISBN: 9780415332880 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Raimond Gaita's Good and Evil is one of the most important, original and provocative books on the nature of morality to have been published in recent years. It is essential reading for anyone interested in what it means to talk about good and evil. Gaita argues that questions about morality are inseparable from the preciousness of each human being, an issue we can only address if we place the idea of remorse at the centre of moral life. Drawing on an astonishing range of thinkers and writers, including Plato, Wittgenstein, George Orwell and Primo Levi, Gaita also reflects on the...

Good and Evil : An Absolute Conception
ISBN: 9780415332897 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Raimond Gaita, author of the acclaimed "A Common Humanity" returns with a new edition of "Good and Evil: An Absolute Conception," the book which first sparked off much of the current interest in the topic of "evil." In "Good and Evil," Raimond Gaita draws moral philosophy away from the academic study of ethics and considers instead how real people actually think, talk and feel about morality. He explores our ideas of good and evil, and their link to our respect for human beings and the "preciousness" of each individual. Drawing on work ranging from Plato and Wittgenstein to George Orwell and...

A Geographical Guide to the Real and the Good
ISBN: 9780415944854 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As humans we create and transform the world around us. Our houses, cities, nations and rooms: these places all reflect our thoughts and feelings on what we think reality ought to be. In this text, the geographer Robert Sack argues for places that expand our awareness of reality and open our eyes to the variety and complexity of the world. Simply, A Geographical Guide to the Real and the Good constructs a geographical theory of morality based on the concept of space and place. Using historical and contemporary failures of good and moral places to illustrate his theory, this book should force...

Rethinking Evil: Contemporary Perspectives
ISBN: 9780520226340 / Angielski / Miękka / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This innovative volume will be welcomed by moral and political philosophers, social scientists, and anyone who reflects seriously on the twentieth century's heavy burden of war, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and other evidence of people's desire to harm one another. Maria Pia Lara brings together a provocative set of essays that reexamine evil in the context of a "postmetaphysical" world, a world that no longer equates natural and human evil and no longer believes in an omnipotent God. The question of how and why God permits evil events to occur is replaced by the question of how and why humans...

Philosophy, the Good, the True and the Beautiful
ISBN: 9780521785112 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book considers the role of values in truth seeking, in morality, in aesthetics and also in the spiritual life. We have got beyond the simplistic view that values are simply expressions of feeling, but their precise ontological and epistemological status remains controversial. The essays in this book indicate in an accessible way the state of the discussion as it is at the end of the second millennium.
