The moral dimensions of their psychological injuries - guilt, shame, feeling responsible for doing wrong or being wronged - elude conventional treatment. Georgetown philosophy professor Nancy Sherman turns her focus to these moral injuries in Afterwar.

The Soul of Capitalism examines how the greatest wealth-creation engine in the history of the world is failing most of us, why it must be changed, and how intrepid pioneers are beginning to transform it. Best-selling author William Greider analyzes how our relentless pursuit of unprecedented affluence has eroded family life, eaten away at our sense of personal and professional security, corroded our communities, impoverished our spiritual lives, and devastated our natural environment.

Armies know all about killing. It is what they do, and ours does it more effectively than most. We are painfully coming to realize, however, that we are also especially good at killing our own ''from the inside out,'' silently, invisibly. In every major war since Korea, more of our veterans have taken their lives than have lost them in combat. The latest research, rooted in veteran testimony, reveals that the most severe and intractable PTSD - fraught with shame, despair, and suicide - stems from "moral injury".

In Thick and Thin: Moral Argument at Home and Abroad, Michael Walzer revises and extends the arguments in his influential Spheres of Justice, framing his ideas about justice, social criticism, and national identity in light of the new political world that has arisen in the past three decades.

My main aim in this audiobook version is to add value in students' lives, especially to the visually impaired/handicapped. The pursuit of wisdom is dear to my heart, and I know that it is harder when one is dealing with disabilities in their scholastic pursuit.

Konservative bevorzugen Hunde, Progressive eher Katzen. Und Wutbürger sind eigentlich Ekelbürger. Hier werden keine Klischees bedient - sondern der Kern unserer Moral freigelegt.

Wie entsteht Fremdenfeindlichkeit? Hübl zeigt, wie Emotionen unsere moralischen Urteile bestimmen. Wie unsere Werte und unsere politische Haltung in Gefühlsdispositionen verankert sind.

Zehn Jahre nach Sokrates' Tod schrieb Platon dessen Verteidigungsrede nieder und etablierte damit einen Denker, wie ihn die Welt noch nicht kannte. Einen Dialektiker, der sich unwissend und einfältig stellte, um Wissen und Moral seiner Mitmenschen zu prüfen, und der sich in seiner Unbedingtheit weder gängigen Meinungen noch dem Druck der Masse beugte, mehr noch: der auch den eigenen Neigungen widerstand und sich ganz und gar der Wahrheit verpflichtete...

Morals have held empires together, kept soldiers marching under fire, fed the hungry, passed laws, built walls, welcomed immigrants, destroyed careers and governed our sex lives. But what if morality's all meaningless rubbish, a malfunctioning relic of our evolutionary past? This is the provocative argument that Chris makes. This isn't an attack on one set of moral codes or one way of thinking about ethics: it's a call for abolishing the whole caboodle.
