Ethics & Morality

In The Truth and Beauty, Andrew Klavan explored how the work of great poets helps illuminate the truth of the gospels. Now, the award-winning screenwriter and crime novelist turns his attention to the dark side of human nature to discover how we might find joy and beauty in the world while still being clear-eyed about the evil found in it. The Kingdom of Cain looks at three murders in history—including the first murder, Cain's killing of his brother, Abel—and at the art created from imaginative engagement with those horrific events by artists ranging from Fyodor Dostoevsky to Alfred Hitchcock.

Vanessa Kisuule is a big Michael Jackson fan. This fixation once gave her great joy, but now it keeps her up at night. In her bracingly honest, energetic and lively book she explores the fall-out from that fandom and how, or if, we can hold people to account whilst loving them at the same time. Why do famous musicians mean so much to us? How does the pop culture machine both mirror and magnify the worst aspects of human nature? Why is it so hard to accept that the people we love, famous or not, are capable of doing terrible things?

Sacks argues that faiths must remain open to criticism, keep alive their separate communities and still contribute far more to national debates on moral issues. They must also learn to get along better. His thesis is that we still live under a Biblical canopy and that a cohesive morality needs the uniting bonds of faith. The subject of this book—religions and ethics—is good ground for him to build on: The Jewish contribution to ethics is distinctly rational and has a long and illustrious tradition. Moral philosophy is after all a Jewish preoccupation.

A través de fragmentos y observaciones, Kafka discute sobre la decisión de edificar la muralla en secciones dispersas, en lugar de hacerlo de manera continua. Esta elección, a simple vista ilógica, se convierte en una alegoría de la comunicación humana, el aislamiento y la fragmentación de la sociedad. Con su tono característicamente introspectivo y una mirada aguda sobre el absurdo humano, Kafka transforma una hazaña arquitectónica en una meditación sobre la naturaleza humana y las complejidades de la cohesión social.

Dr. King was correct when he stated that Black political leaders are surrogates for White power. The destruction of Black leadership is the most damaging crisis affecting the Black community. Unless this problem is solved, nothing beneficial will develop out of the unholy alliance between African American politicians and White liberals. Black leadership is dead. They abandoned King’s philosophy of direct confrontation, which was responsible for the meager gains African Americans made in the 1960s. Real Black leadership was destroyed by White liberals and was replaced by what Dr.

When The Case for Animal Rights was published in 1983, it rapidly became an acknowledged classic of moral philosophy, and its author, Tom Regan (1938–2017), was recognized as an intellectual leader within the animal rights movement. Twenty years later, Case was reissued with a new and fully considered preface, in which Regan responded to his critics and defended the book's revolutionary position. Now, forty years after its original publication, this foundational text is available as an audiobook.

Living the Good Life presents a brief introduction to virtue and vice, self-control and weakness, misery and happiness. The book contrasts the thought of Aquinas with popular views, such as moral relativism, values clarification, utilitarianism, Kantian deontology, and situation ethics. Following the Socratic dictum "know thyself," Steven J. Jensen investigates the interior workings of the human mind, revealing the interplay of reason, will, and emotions.

Las Pasiones del Alma es una de las últimas obras de Descartes y su principal tratado sobre filosofía moral y psicología.
