Moral Science

On the Genealogy of Morality (The Genealogy of Morals) is an 1887 book by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. It consists of a preface and three interrelated essays that expand and follow through on concepts Nietzsche sketched out in Beyond Good and Evil. The three essays trace episodes in the evolution of moral concepts with a view to confronting moral prejudices, specifically those of Christianity and Judaism. Some Nietzsche scholars consider Genealogy to be a work of sustained brilliance and power as well as his masterpiece.

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.

This is my story of how I became a Right Wing Fundamentalist Roman Catholic and of course a Republican. I eventually became politically incorrect, and finally at peace with my church and my politics.

Epiktet war einer der Hauptvertreter der Philosophie der Stoa, und als solcher äußerst einflussreich. Sein "Handbuch" ist ein Leitfaden für praktische Philosophie und bietet einen präzise formulierten Leitfaden für eine ethische Lebensführung. Ein sehr alter Text - doch immer noch hochaktuell!!

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.

Nach der Lehre Epiktets soll der Mensch strikt unterscheiden, welche Dinge und Geschehnisse von ihm selbst beeinflusst werden können und welche nicht. Nur wenn diese Unterscheidung gelingt und bewusst wird, dann wird persönliches Glück erreichbar sein.

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. Hopefully, by converting my book into an audio version, and thus by the use of technology, I can convey the wisdom in the crucial message.

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. Walzer focuses on two different but interrelated kinds of moral argument: Maximalist and minimalist, thick and thin, local and universal.

In this rich and illuminating book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning, bestselling author Robert Coles creates a portrait of moral leadership--what it is, and how it is achieved--through stories of people who have led and inspired him: Robert Kennedy, Dorothy Day, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Erik Erikson, a Boston bus driver, teachers in college, medical school, and elementary school, among others.

Les Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales, plus connues sous le titres de Maximes, sont une collection de peintures philosophiques rassemblées par le duc de la Rochefoucauld. "C'est un des ouvrages qui contribuèrent le plus à former le goût de la nation, et à lui donner un esprit de justesse et de précision... Il accoutuma à penser et à renfermer des pensées dans un tour vif, précis et délicat" en dit Voltaire dans son "Siècle de Louis XIV".

Most of us are wondering what the heck is going wrong with the world. We turn on our televisions to hear about rape, theft, murderous rampages, and more. People are going crazy and slapping their managers in the face with bacon at fast-food restaurants. Patrons are abandoning their cars in the drive thru to slip inside the back door and physically accost the food service employees. Pizza delivery drivers are being robbed, and food delivery drivers are carrying guns to defend themselves against hangry customers. Why are we losing our moral fiber?

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.

We are all indebted to Carl Watner for uncovering an unknown work by the great Lysander Spooner, one that managed to escape the editor of Spooner’s Collected Works. Both the title and the substance of “Vices are not Crimes” highlight the unique role that morality and moral principle had for Spooner among the anarchists and libertarians of his day. For Spooner was the last of the great natural-rights theorists among anarchists, classical liberals, or moral theorists generally.

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.

Concerns about censorship have once again reached a fever pitch across the liberal West. With a few notable exceptions, complaints about censorship in the twenty-first century West are complaints about the behavior of private parties: employers, media conglomerates, social media platforms, and search engines. To better understand the concerns surrounding nonstate interference with speech, Private Censorship offers an account of censorship, as well as an assessment of the ethical and political issues it raises across contexts.
