Moral Philosophy

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).

Now in The Broken Hearth, William Bennett, America's foremost conservative spokesperson on matters of family values, presents a strong, well-reasoned, and informed defense of the traditional family.

El escepticismo es bien conocido en la filosofía occidental, la mentalidad de cuestionar las afirmaciones de conocimiento establecidas en varias áreas. Los escépticos han cuestionado la idoneidad o confiabilidad de estas afirmaciones preguntando en qué conceptos se basan o qué establecen realmente. Han dudado de si algunas de esas afirmaciones son verdaderas, tal como se declaran, o siempre verdaderas, y han cuestionado las supuestas premisas lógicas de las suposiciones aceptadas.

Martin Luther King Jr. may be America's most revered political figure, commemorated in statues, celebrations, and street names around the world. But despite his stature, the significance of King's writings and political thought remains underappreciated. In To Shape a New World, Tommie Shelby and Brandon Terry state that the marginalization of King's ideas reflects a romantic consensus history that renders the civil rights movement inherently conservative - an effort not at radical reform but at "living up to" enduring ideals laid down by the nation's founders.

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.

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was one of the most influential philosophers of all time. His profound thoughts on aesthetics, ethics, and knowledge has had an enormous impact on all subsequent philosophy. Kant asked questions like “What is morally permissible, and what is morally obligatory?” and explored the answers in Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals. Kant's idea of the categorical imperative is a logical proof of the golden rule and the centerpiece of this work.

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. In Eat Meat... or Don't, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor.

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.

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.

What is human well-being? Valerie Tiberius argues that our lives go well to the extent that we succeed in terms of what matters to us emotionally, reflectively, and over the long term. In other words, well-being consists in fulfilling or realizing our appropriate values over time. In the first half of the book, Tiberius sets out the theory of well-being as value fulfillment. She explains what valuing is and what it is to fulfill values over time. In the second half of the book, she applies the theory to the problem of how to help others, particularly our friends.

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.
