Moral Politics

A basic instructional guide to both logical and moral philosophies. How to recognize true statements versus those which are fallacious. Also includes the moral theories of Idolatry and the LDS Church/Mormonism and where they fit among other theories. Also included are two articles I wrote on "The Divine Command Moral Theory" and "The Traditional Christian God". This book is an essential reference work.

How did humans, a species of self-centered apes, come to care about others? Since Darwin, scientists have tried to answer this question using evolutionary theory. In The Kindness of Strangers, psychologist Michael E. McCullough shows why they have failed and offers a new explanation instead. From the moment nomadic humans first settled down until the aftermath of the Second World War, our species has confronted repeated crises that we could only survive by changing our behavior.

A collection of answers to the philosophical questions on people's minds - from the big to the personal to the ones you didn't know you needed answered. Based on real-life questions from his Ask a Philosopher series, Ian Olasov offers his answers to questions such as: Are people innately good or bad? Is it okay to have a pet fish? Is it okay to have kids? Is color subjective? If humans colonize Mars, who will own the land?

We like to think of ourselves, our friends, and our families as decent people. We may not be saints, but we are still honest, relatively kind, and mostly trustworthy. Christian Miller argues here that we are badly mistaken in thinking this. Hundreds of recent studies in psychology tell a different story: that we all have serious character flaws that prevent us from being as good as we think we are - and that we do not even recognize that these flaws exist.

O filósofo alemão faz uma crítica à moral vigente, analisando os princípios ocidentais desde Sócrates; além das ideologias religiosas, como compaixão e igualdade; da filosofia; da ciência e da arte. É considerada uma das obras mais incisivas sobre a origem dos nossos conceitos morais, ao questionar o valor da moral, e representa o auge da psicologia social de Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900). Dividida em três tratados, este livro atemporal tem um significado inestimável.

The Individualization of War examines the status of individuals in contemporary armed conflict in three main capacities: as subject to violence but deserving of protection; as liable to harm because of their responsibility for attacks on others; and as agents who can be held accountable for the perpetration of crimes.

Als die Philosophie der Stoa ihren Siegeszug von Athen nach Rom antrat, wurde sie dort schnell zu einer Art Populärphilosophie. Im Mittelpunkt standen nun moralische Fragen sowie die Lebensbewältigung an sich. In dieser wunderbaren Hörbuch Box versammeln sich drei absolute Schwergewichte, die inspirierende Antworten auf die Frage liefern, wie ich mein Leben führen soll. Mit dabei ist Seneca: Vom Zorn (Track 1 - 99), Vom glücklichen Leben (Track 100 - 130), Von der Gemütsruhe (Track 131 - 163), Von der Kürze des Lebens (Track 164 - 190).

An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals was published in 1751 by Scottish enlightenment philosopher David Hume, a man who revolutionized our understanding of philosophy. Hume uses this work to explore the foundations of morality, asserting that our ethical nature is based upon sentiment rather than reason. He delves deeply into the subject of morality, expanding upon the perspective expressed initially in his Treatise of Human Nature.

In this astute new work, Jakob Feinig shows how the relation between money users and money-issuing governments changed from British colonial North America to today's United States, discussing how popular movements reshaped money-creating institutions, and how their opponents attempted to silence them.

Conservative columnist and think tank research fellow Justin Haskins examines the moral perils of Marx's socialism. In Socialism Is Evil, Haskins makes the moral case against socialism and also describes in detail what socialists believe, the differences between socialism and communism, why Marx's socialism will never be completely adopted, and why even the more moderate European-style socialism, called "democratic socialism" by some, is highly immoral and anti-American.

Among all life on Earth, we alone experience rich moral emotions, follow complex rules governing how we treat one another, and engage in moral dialogue. But how did human morality evolve? And can humans become morally evolved? In A Better Ape, Victor Kumar and Richmond Campbell draw on the latest research in the biological and social sciences to explain the key role that morality has played in human evolution.

Election results are announced. Half the country is elated. The other half are more than unhappy - they are morally stressed. They will be until the next election. It doesn't have to be this way. It's no secret that the loathing, even hatred, between the political left and right are increasing. Existing explanations are superficial, and they have not provided solutions. And so, the problem persists.

Die Aufkündigung der deutsch-russischen Energiepartnerschaft als politische Reaktion auf Putins völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffskrieg hat Deutschland in die schwerste Wirtschaftskrise seit Bestehen der Bundesrepublik gestürzt. Obwohl die anhaltend hohe Inflation vor allem die Ärmsten unseres Landes vor existenzielle Herausforderungen stellt; obwohl wir infolge der Rezession massive gesellschaftliche Verwerfungen und ein weiteres Erstarken rechtspopulistischer Kräfte zu befürchten haben.

Wilson admits in the preface of his book that "virtue has acquired a bad name". However, people make some kind of reference to morality whenever they discuss whether or not someone is nice, dependable, or decent; whether they have a good character; and the aspects of friendship, loyalty, and moderation that are all informed by morality.

To take a journey, travelers must know where they are, where they are going, and how to get there. Moral theology examines the same three truths. The Christian Moral Life is a guide for moral theology that uses the theme of a journey to explain its key ethical concepts. Based on an examination of the moral methodology in The Bible, the audiobook discusses the importance of participating in divine nature through grace in order to attain eternal happiness.

Moral Articulation outlines an ethical framework that allows us to embrace a version of the latter, transformative view without sacrificing notions of moral truth, objectivity, and knowledge. The book presents a view of moral meaningfulness as extending beyond what we can presently put into words, urging that expansions in our moral vocabularies often begin in dissonant experiences of conceptual and linguistic limits.

Un libro en el que podrás descubrir que ser una persona consiente es posible, y los grandes beneficios que esto trae a tu vida.

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! Unsere Wirtschaft macht uns alle zu Sklavenhaltern - das führt uns jedes Drei-Euro-T-Shirt und jede Reportage über die Sweatshops in der Dritten Welt vor Augen. Dennoch machen wir weiter mit. Wir können die Globalisierung nicht abschaffen, auch können wir die Spielregeln nicht ändern.

Please note: This is a summary and analysis of the book and not the original book. In The Second Mountain, political commentator and author David Brooks explains how individuals and societies can transition from selfish individualism to a focus on community. He believes that to achieve solidarity, wholeness and true happiness, we must shift our character from the hyper-individualistic first mountain to the more relational second mountain.
