In this refreshing and eye-opening audiobook, James Mumford, a public thinker and independent commentator, questions the basic assumptions of our political groups. His challenge is simple: ‘Why should believing strongly about one topic mean the automatic adoption of so many others?’ Vexed is an essential and provocative account that will appeal to anyone of independent thought, and a welcome call for new reflection on the moral issues most relevant to our modern way of life.

Steht eine religiöse oder gesellschaftliche Moral über dem Schutz des Individuums, wenn dieses nicht gläubig und oder ein innerhalb dieser oder jener Glaubens-Ideologien oder allgemein gängigen Vorstellungen ein blödes Arschloch ist?

"Nichts ist so voll und ganz das Werk unsres freien Willens wie Zuneigung und Freundschaft." Der französische Philosoph Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) geht in diesen Essays den Tugenden und Schwächen der Menschen nach.

"Das Mitleid hebt die Mauer zwischen du und ich auf." Mitleid ist nach Schopenhauer das Fundament der Menschenliebe, der Gerechtigkeit und der Ethik. Es schließt die Liebe zu den Tieren ein und ist die natürliche, uneigennützige und allein wirklich moralische Triebfeder ethischen Handelns. Es ist damit die Basis einer jeden Tugend.

Discovering that reason is the defining feature of our species, we named ourselves the “rational animal”. But is this flattering story itself rational?

But for philosopher Tamler Sommers, a sense of honor is essential to living moral lives. In Why Honor Matters, Sommers argues that our collective rejection of honor has come at great cost. Reliant only on Enlightenment liberalism, the United States has become the home of the cowardly, the shameless, the selfish, and the alienated. Properly channeled, honor encourages virtues like courage, integrity, and solidarity.
