Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ethics of Hercules: A Study of Man's Body as the Sole Determinant of Ethical ValuesThere are, for example, those who consider ethics as the humble handmaid Of what is curiously termed revealed religion, and who consequently hold that all the knowledge necessary for the conduct of life has long ago been vouchsafed us by Infallible Wisdom. TO such persons it is of no importance that human nature has actually altered to such an extent as to make it necessary to find new solutions even for ancient problems; nor does it seem to oc cur to them that the homage devoted to the past, may often be simply a pleasant way of escape from the intellectual responsibilities Of the present. A mechanistic ethics plans to undermine the notion that the ethical truth Of one generation is neces sarily sufficient for the problems of the generation that succeeds it, and aims to supersede it with the view that man's progress is dependent, not upon his ability to escape from his problems, but rather upon his ability to analyse and solve them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Duty or Pleasure? This was the legendary choice which faced Hercules and which pre-eminent philosopher A.C. Grayling uses as the starting point of this masterful book. He shows us how much more people can understand about themselves and their world by reflecting on today's moral challenges. Above all, he explores the idea that certain demands and certain pleasures are necessary, not just because of their intrinsic merits but because of what they do for each other. With exceptional clarity and unrivalled prose, Grayling addresses the everyday ethical choices which confront us all.

Download or read book The Ethics of Time written by John Panteleimon Manoussakis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ethics of Time utilizes the resources of phenomenology and hermeneutics to explore this under-charted field of philosophical inquiry. Its rigorous analyses of such phenomena as waiting, memory, and the body are carried out phenomenologically, as it engages in a hermeneutical reading of such classical texts as Augustine's Confessions and Sophocles's Oedipus Rex, among others. The Ethics of Time takes seriously phenomenology's claim of a consciousness both constituting time and being constituted by time. This claim has some important implications for the “ethical” self or, rather, for the ways in which such a self informed by time, might come to understand anew the problems of imperfection and ethical goodness. Even though a strictly philosophical endeavour, this book engages knowledgeably and deftly with subjects across literature, theology and the arts and will be of interest to scholars throughout these disciplines.

Download or read book Heracles' Bow written by James Boyd White and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law has traditionally been regarded as a set of rules and institutions. In this thoughtful series of essays, James Boyd White urges a fresh view of the law as an essentially literary, rhetorical, and ethical activity. Defining and elaborating his conception, he artfully bridges the fields of jurisprudence, literature, philosophy, history, and political science. The result, a new approach that may change the way we perceive the legal process, will engage not only lawyers and law students but anyone interested in the relationship between ethics, persuasion, and community. White's essays, though bound by a common perspective, are thematically varied. Each of these pieces makes eloquent and insightful reading. Taken as a whole, they establish, by triangulation, a position from which they all proceed: a view of poetry, law, and rhetoric as essentially synonymous. Only when we perceive the links between these processes, White stresses, can we begin to unite the concerns of truth, beauty, and justice in a single field of action and expression.

Download or read book The Ethics of Giacomo Leopardi written by Alice Gibson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-19 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a comprehensive introduction to the work of pioneering poet-philosopher Giacomo Leopardi, Alice Gibson pushes his thought into new directions by investigating how his ethics and philosophy of nature offer means for understanding and taking responsibility for the environmental crisis. Through examination of the whole of Leopardi's oeuvre, from the Zibaldone to the poems he wrote towards the end of his life, this book disrupts the common image of Leopardi as a pessimist poet whose works contribute to the nihilistic tradition. The Ethics of Giacomo Leopardi instead uncovers his forward-looking views on living in a multispecies world, in which humans live alongside other living beings in a delicate ecosystem that not only requires respect, but also instigates wonder. Bringing Leopardi's thought into dialogue with contemporary ecological theorists such as Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour, and Timothy Morton, Gibson reveals how a Leopardian ethics of solidarity, compassion and community is the guide we need today to reframe our relationship with nature.
