Titoli in Etica e moralità

An analysis about how humanism was replacing religion in modern morality.

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.

The Dignity of Difference was the first major statement by a Jewish leader on the ethics of globalization. At the time of writing, the politics of identity had began to replace the politics of ideology that dominated the globe in the twentieth-century. Now Rabbi Sack’s heartfelt, clear-sighted and radical proposal for how we might reconcile our differences without violence is as relevant as ever. In it, Sacks argues that we must do more than just search for values common to all faiths.

La República es una de las obras más influyentes de la historia de la filosofía. Presentada en forma de diálogo entre Sócrates y varios interlocutores, indaga en la noción de la comunidad perfecta y en el papel del individuo en ella. A lo largo de la conversación, se plantean cuestiones de vital importancia no solo para la vida en sociedad, sino para el conjunto de la filosofía. ¿Qué es el bien? ¿Qué es la realidad? ¿Qué es el conocimiento? ¿Para qué sirve la educación?

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.

జాలరుల కుగ్రామంగా మొదలైన విశాఖపట్నం , రెండో ప్రపంచ యుద్ధం తరువాత మహానగరంగా అవతరించడానికి మూలకారణమైన భౌగోళిక విశేషం యారాడ కొండ. విశాఖపట్నం ఎదుగుదలకు అదొక కొండగుర్తు. ఎంతో మందికి ఉపాధినీ, కొంత మందికి సంపదనూ ప్రసాదించిన బంగారు కొండ అది. ఆ కొండ విశాఖపట్నం కథను చెప్పుకొస్తే అది ఎలా ఉంటుంది? గడచిన వందేళ్ల కాలంలో అక్కడి మనుషులూ, వాళ్ల ఆశలు, ఆశయాలూ, వ్యధలూ, బాధలూ, సుఖ సంతోషాలనూ, అలాగే వీటన్నింటినీ నడిపించిన శక్తులనూ యారాడ కొండ నమోదుచేసి వినిపించిన గాథకు నవలా రూపం ఈ రచన.

Can octopuses feel pain and pleasure? What about crabs, shrimps, insects, or spiders? How do we tell whether a person unresponsive after severe brain injury might be suffering? When does a fetus in the womb start to have conscious experiences? Could there even be rudimentary feelings in miniature models of the human brain, grown from human stem cells? And what about AI? These are questions about the edge of sentience, and they are subject to enormous, disorienting uncertainty. We desperately want certainty, but it is out of reach.

When you are faced with a decision, do you consider the best outcome, or do you consider your deepest values about which actions are appropriate? The Cost of Conviction contrasts these two primary strategies for making decisions: consequentialism, the former, or prioritizing one's sacred values, the latter. Steven Sloman argues that, while both modes of decision making are necessary tools for a good decision maker, people err by deploying sacred values more often than they should, especially when it comes to sociopolitical issues.

Was ist Fakt, was ist Fiktion? Ein Fakt ist eine wissenschaftlich überprüfbare Tatsache. Eine Meinung hingegen ist das Ergebnis persönlicher Überzeugungen und Ansichten.

Neurowissenschaftler und Bestsellerautor Jens Foell widmet sich in seinem neuen Buch dem Spannungsfeld von Fakten und Fiktionen in der Naturwissenschaft: Er folgt dem Gang wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnis in Psychologie, Physik, Chemie und Medizin von der Beobachtung über die Hypothesenbildung bis zur Kommunikation.
