The essays in this fascinating volume examine present-day psychological and cultural problems with the keen insight and humanistic sympathies characteristic of Erich Fromm's work. The Dogma of Christ provides some of the sharpest critical insights into how the contemporary world of human destructiveness and violence can no longer separate religion, psychology, and politics. The book brilliantly summarizes Fromm's ideas on how culture and society shape our behavior.

Moralnomics: The Moral Road to Prosperity dares to bring back the "M" word. But this time, the morality is universal, being objectively anchored in human nature - as revealed by what has and has not worked to elevate the human condition, including our living standards and our economic performance. Regardless of whether you believe that human nature comes from a kind and loving God, or you don't believe in God, or you simply prefer that religion and public policy not be mixed, this book is for you.

This revolutionary treatise starts from one fundamental premise: that our phenomenal consciousness includes direct experience of value. For too long, ethical theorists have looked for value in external states of affairs or reduced value to a projection of the mind onto them. The result, unsurprisingly, is widespread antirealism about ethics. In this book, Sharon Hewitt Rawlette turns our metaethical gaze inward and dares us to consider that value, rather than being something “out there”, is a quality woven into the very fabric of our conscious experience, in a highly objective way.

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.

This a remarkably honest and transparent audiobook on the evolution of morality and how it is a necessary illusion.

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. Exactly the opposite is true, says Father Robert Sirico in his thought-provoking book Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy. Father Sirico argues that a free economy actually promotes charity, selflessness, and kindness. In Defending the Free Market, he shows why free-market capitalism is not only the best way to ensure individual success and national prosperity but also the surest route to a moral and socially just society.

Are contemporary soldiers exploited by the state and society that they defend? More specifically, have America's professional service members disproportionately carried the moral weight of America's war-fighting decisions since the inception of an all-volunteer force?

Robillard and Strawser offer an original theory of "moral exploitation".

Los filósofos griegos construyeron grandes discusiones sobre la realidad que continúan vigentes y siguen inspirando a los pensadores de hoy. Desde las enseñanzas matemáticas de Pitágoras, pasando por las ideas de Platón y Aristóteles, han sido fundamentales para el desarrollo intelectual hasta nuestros días. Hoy, sin embargo, ese papel lo ha adoptado una nueva clase de visionarios.

The essays in this audiobook set out to explore the ways in which Victorians used newspapers to identify the causes of bad behavior and its impacts, and the ways in which they tried to "distance" criminals and those guilty of "bad" behavior from the ordinary members of society, including identification of them as different according to race or sexual orientation. Victorian alarm was about crimes and bad behavior that they saw as new or unique to their period - but that were not new then and that, in slightly different dress, are still causing panic today.
