Moral Politics

Un audiolibro inteligente y ágil, que profundiza en las complejas relaciones entre moral y ficción, que vuelven a estar -o acaso nunca han dejado de estarlo- en el centro del debate. ¿Hay arte moralmente condenable? ¿O es el arte inmune al juicio moral? Las respuestas más socorridas que se ofrecen en la esfera pública a estas cuestiones parecen acorralarnos para que elijamos entre las opciones de un solemne dilema. O bien se reclama la suspensión total del juicio moral acerca de la obra de arte o bien se mimetiza el veredicto propio del derecho penal: culpable o inocente.

The Left has seized on our economic troubles as an excuse to “blame the rich guy” and paint a picture of capitalism and the free market as selfish, greedy, and cruel.

Father Sirico argues that a free economy actually promotes charity, selflessness, and kindness.

Moral lässt sich nicht outsourcen! Wenn Sie Kleidung tragen, Nahrung zu sich nehmen, ein Auto fahren oder ein Smartphone haben, arbeiten derzeit ungefähr 60 Sklaven für Sie und mich. Ob wir wollen oder nicht. Und ohne dass wir das veranlasst hätten. Wie fühlen Sie sich damit? Dies fragt BWL-Professorin Evi Hartmann und meint es nicht rhetorisch!

Roughly 95% of Americans don't appear to have an ethical problem with animals being killed for food, yet all of us would have a serious problem with humans being killed for food. As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don't eat those humans.
