Ethics and moral philosophy Books

Book SynopsisNo thinker has reflected more deeply on the role of religion in human life than Søren Kierkegaard, who produced in little more than a decade an astonishing number of works devoted to an analysis of the kind of personality, character, and spiritual qualities needed to become an authentic human being or self. Understanding religion to consist essentially as an inward, passionate, personal relation to God or the eternal, Kierkegaard depicts the art of living religiously as a self through the creation of a kaleidoscope of poetic figures who exemplify the constituents of selfhood or the lack thereof. The present study seeks to bring Kierkegaard into conversation with contemporary empirical psychology and virtue ethics, highlighting spiritual dimensions of human existence in his thought that are inaccessible to empirical measurement, as well as challenging on religious grounds the claim that he is a virtue ethicist in continuity with the classical and medieval virtue tradition.Trade Review'In this incredibly clear, sweepingly aware, and compellingly argued book, Walsh presents Kierkegaard as being most radical when at his most religious, and at his most empirically relevant when at his most existentially concerned. Although this book is primarily written for a scholarly audience, the Kierkegaard that Sylvia Walsh presents is someone that I hope all my students get to meet. And since I get to decide what goes on the syllabus, I will make sure that they do.' J. Aaron Simmons, Reading ReligionTable of Contents1. The constituents of personality; 2.

Book SynopsisIn this radical reinterpretation of Rousseau, Jeremiah Alberg argues that the philosopher''s system of thought is founded on theological scandal, and on Rousseau''s inability to accept forgiveness. Alberg explores his views in relation to alternative forms of Christianity.Trade Review"It is in fact a lavishly researched and tautly reasoned achievement, won in fertile and respectful conversation, as his ample footnotes exhibit, with the enormous host of ROUSSEAU scholars. More precisely, it completes the work of Jean STAROBINSKI, in whose groundbreaking Jean-Jacques Rousseau: La Transparence et l'obstacle (Paris: Gallimard, 1957) the word "scandal" appears on the third page as a synonym for ROUSSEAU'S quarrel with society and culture as a whole. ALBERG uncovers every facet, every bounce and rebound of this obstacle in ROUSSEAU'S work." - The Bulletin of theColloquiumon Violence & Religion"An important contribution to the understanding of a profound and influential thinker." - Christopher Kelly, Professor, Department of Political Science, Boston College "No one expects a merciful inquisition. Jeremiah Alberg, in a book which those who are not Rousseau scholars will find difficult at first, but which eventually yields great insight, takes Rousseau at his word but refuses to be scandalized by him. He shines a gentle light on the admittedly scandalizing and scandalized nature of Rousseau's own thinking, and reveals quite how central to the whole of Rousseau's project and rationality is a scandalized pattern of desire, one where a person is simultaneously attracted to and repelled by the same object, and so is locked into a double-bind of the sort made luminous in the thought of René Girard. Alberg's central insight is that Rousseau is simultaneously dependent on, and yet rejecting of, the Christian doctrine of original sin, a doctrine which he (as well as his contemporaries) regarded as a form of primordial accusation, rather than what it is: a perspective on who we are, which could have only come into being through an even more primordial forgiveness. And this insight shows a way of being both much more severe with Rousseau, and much kinder to him than I, and I suspect he, could have imagined." - James Alison, Catholic priest and theologian "Jeremiah Alberg's book on Rousseau shows ushow this rogue redeemer takes us to the core of the interpersonal pathologies, the underground psychology, that René GIRARD has analyzed magisterially in Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, and other great writers, and that continue to afflict the modern psyche. His analyses garner well-earned praise from Girard in a foreword to 'this beautiful book,' which luminously reorganizes Rousseau's entire work around the notion of scandal as it involves a complex of interpersonal relations that extends to all levels of social organization." - The Bulletin of the Colloquium on Violence & ReligionTable of ContentsForeword by René Girard PART I: INTRODUCTION Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Scandal Everything Relates to that First Accusation PART II: EMILE The Forming of Emile Professing Faith The Scandal of Politics The Politics of Scandal PART III: THE DISCOURSES The Scandal of Origins The Origin of Scandal The Logic of Scandal PART IV: AUTOBIOGRAPHY The Confession of Scandal At the Bottom of the Abyss Part V: CONCLUSION - FORGIVING ROUSSEAU

Book SynopsisTackling the question of why medieval philosophy matters in the current age, Stephen Boulter issues a passionate and robust defence of this school in the history of ideas. He examines both familiar territory and neglected texts and thinkers whilst also asking the question of why, exactly, this matters or should matter to how we think now. Why Medieval Philosophy is also provides a introduction to medieval philosophy more generally exploring how this area of philosophy has been received, debated and, sometimes, dismissed in the history of philosophy.Trade ReviewThis volume is important for recognizing the value of medieval philosophy and its place in Western intellectual history. Scholarly yet accessible, the book will be embraced by both specialists and generalists, including those who wish to expand their interests beyond texts assigned in most introductory philosophy courses. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty. * CHOICE *Stephen Boulter’s book provides a cogent answer to the question of why medieval philosophy matters, by making the case that the scholastics had a distinctive and strong sense of their identity and utility within society as philosophers – a sense that has to some degree been forgotten in the modern era. The medievals saw themselves as usefully engaged in addressing important questions arising within the sciences and explored within society at large; their texts paradigmatically convey to the reader a sense of the value of philosophy and of the philosopher’s intellectual responsibilities and goals within society at large. The book will be a useful read for anyone, including those who might want to critically engage with its overall argument. -- Anna Marmodoro, Professor of Philosophy, Durham University and Research Fellow, Corpus Christi, University of Oxford, UKThis stimulating and highly original book makes a powerful case for the relevance of medieval philosophy to the methodology and content of contemporary natural sciences. It will be read with profit and great interest by all interested in medieval philosophy and its significance for the modern world. -- Richard Cross, Rev. John A.

Book SynopsisMark A. Ralkowski is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Honors at the George Washington University, USATrade ReviewA fine book with a straightforward, persuasive thesis ... Compelling and thought-provoking. * Exemplaria Classica *In this excellent book Mark Ralkowski sheds new light on the trial of Socrates by placing it in the context of Plato’s lifelong opposition to Athenian democracy. He argues that the city and not Socrates corrupted the youth of Athens, and in particular Alcibiades. The book is well-written, the thesis is bold but the argument is judicious, the scholarship is thorough and the treatment of Alcibiades in particular will advance the discussion of that flamboyant and controversial Athenian personality. This should be essential reading for everyone interested in Socrates and his trial, Plato’ political philosophy, and ancient Athens. * William J. Prior, Professor Emeritus, Santa Clara University, USA *Ralkowski packs a lot into this book. Above all, he sets the political interpretation of Socrates’ trial on a secure foundation, especially by paying fruitful attention to dialogues other than Apology itself. But he also shows how Plato turned the tables on the Athenian people by charging them, not Socrates, with being the source of corruption, and exposes Plato’s pessimistic belief that the reformation of society by philosophers, which was Socrates’ mission, was doomed to failure. Vigorous, intelligent, thorough, this is a book that anyone interested in Socrates will want to read. * Robin Waterfield, author of Why Socrates Died: Dispelling the Myths *Plato’s Trial of Athens offers the reader a fresh rethinking of Socrates’ life and death. Ralkowski demonstrates that the full implications of Plato’s representation of his trial can only be understood from within the counter-frames of the Symposium, Gorgias, Republic, Alcibiades I, and Timaeus, which judge and condemn Athens’ corrupt values. Arising from the ashes of Athens’ defeat and Socrates’ death, the Socratic way of life, the author shows, is presented by Plato as the only path to both spiritual and political regeneration. This original study’s comprehensive perspective illuminates facets of Plato’s thought that too often are treated piecemeal. * John Bussanich, Professor of Philosophy, University of New Mexico, USA *R.’s book is a substantial contribution to classical studies. It is written in a friendly and captivating style that allows readers who are not aware of philological discussions to enter into a topic that marked the destiny of the Western tradition, and it reserves for the scholar a good number of well-constructed arguments as well as original and creative ideas on numerous passages of the Platonic corpus. In the vast literature on Socrates, this work will surely earn its rightful place. * The Classical Association *Table of ContentsDedication Introduction 1. The Politics of Impiety 2.

Book SynopsisIn the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle suggests that a moral principle ''does not immediately appear to the man who has been corrupted by pleasure or pain''. Phantasia in Aristotle''s Ethics investigates his claim and its reception in ancient and medieval Aristotelian traditions, including Arabic, Greek, Hebrew and Latin.While contemporary commentators on the Ethics have overlooked Aristotle's remark, his ancient and medieval interpreters made substantial contributions towards a clarification of the claim's meaning and relevance. Even when the hazards of transmission have left no explicit comments on this particular passage, as is the case in the Arabic tradition, medieval responders still offer valuable interpretations of phantasia (appearance) and its role in ethical deliberation and action. This volume casts light on these readings, showing how the distant voices from the medieval Arabic, Greek, Hebrew and Latin Aristotelian traditions still contTrade ReviewThe range of material is one of the volume's greatest strengths … Fink deserves praise for bringing together experts on these traditional strands in order to gain new and renewed insights on a lively topic in Aristotle. * Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *[A] welcome and well-argued enterprise to discuss the fate of a particularly interesting Aristotelian notion through the ages. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *Table of ContentsIntroduction, Jakob Fink (University of Gothenburg, Sweden) and Jessica Moss (New York University, USA) 1.

Book SynopsisWithin the education system, acts of violence toward animals take place and are manifested on a routine basis in science classes, in lecture halls, in school canteens, and during study visits to zoos, farms, and slaughterhouses. Taken for granted as necessary for teaching and learning, this violence profoundly affects animals as well as students. It also provides new entry points for understanding education as a multispecies power regime, driven by numerous other investments than knowledge dissemination alone. What, then, is the nature of this educational violence, and how exactly does education work through techniques of interference with student and animal bodies? Based on ethnographic research within upper secondary schools and higher education, this book challenges the use of animals in education by innovative engagement of Deleuze and Guattari's tool of schizoanalysis. Sparking a fundamental rethinking of educational processes, relations, and aims, the book explores hoTable of ContentsIntroduction: Education, Schizoanalysis, and Critical Animal Theory 1.

Book SynopsisAdvances in Experimental Philosophy of Free Will and Responsibility brings together leading researchers from psychology and philosophy to present new findings and ideas about human agency and moral responsibility. Their contributions reflect the growth of research in these areas over the past decade and highlight both the ways that philosophy can be relevant to empirical research and how empirical work can be relevant to philosophical investigations. Mixing new empirical work with the meta-philosophical and philosophical upshot of the latest research being done, chapters cover motivated cognition and free will beliefs, folk intuitions about manipulation and agency, mental control in assessments of responsibility, the importance of skilled decision making to free will judgments and the relationship between free will and substance dualism.Blending cutting-edge research from philosophy with methods from psychology, this collection is a compelling example of the vTrade ReviewWhat are the conditions under which a person’s will is free and they are responsible for what they do? As the essays in this volume demonstrate, this question cannot be answered exclusively from the armchair or exclusively with the empirical methods of science. Nadelhoffer and Munroe have assembled a set of exciting, transdisciplinary essays that seamlessly synthesize philosophical, theoretical, and empirical perspectives. Though experimental philosophy is a relatively young field, the sense that it has come of age and is delivering important new insights about human agency is evident throughout these pages. * Chandra Sripada, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Psychiatry, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, USA *Expert philosophers have been doing careful thought experiments for centuries, but recently they started collecting data on how ordinary people think about the same issues. This wonderful book will bring anyone up to speed on how ordinary citizens understand the concept of free will and related issues of moral responsibility and decision making. It has contributions by a diverse set of writers, including some of the most highly respected people in the field and some up-and-coming young hot shots. Each chapter presents an overview of an impressive research program, illuminating some vital and fascinating aspect of free will. The chapters are beautifully written and are thus a pleasure to read, whether you are a veteran expert in the field or just an average citizen curious about the topic. The topic is one of the grandest questions in Western thought and central to how to understand human nature, including the mental processes that underlie actions and choices. Anyone who reads this will come away enlightened and inspired. * Roy F.

Book SynopsisFreedom after Kant situates Kant's concept of freedom in relation to leading philosophers of the period to trace a detailed history of philosophical thinking on freedom from the 18th to the 20th century. Beginning with German Idealism, the volume presents Kant's writings on freedom and their reception by contemporaries, successors, followers and critics. From exchanges of philosophical ideas on freedom between Kant and his contemporaries, Reinhold and Fichte, through to Kant's ideas on rational self-determination in Hegel and Schelling, we see Kant's original arguments transformed through concepts of autonomy, freedom and absolutes. The political aspect of Kant's freedom finds further articulation in chapters on Marx and Mill who developed their own notions of political freedom after Kant. Revealing how Kant's concept of freedom shaped the history of philosophy in the broadest sense, contributors chart the development of an ethics of freedom in the 20th century which

Book SynopsisSimone Kotva is a research fellow at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where she teaches philosophical theology. She has published articles on French spiritualism, the philosophy of attention, and metaphysics.Trade ReviewEffort and Grace is a captivating book that guides us through a tradition of French philosophical thought rarely discussed outside of France ... [It] is an important book for anyone who shares an interest in the critical and constructive potential of the notion of grace for contemporary approaches that want to resist the reduction of spirituality to a modern project wholly centred on the volitional effort of the ego. * The Heythrop Journal *Simone Kotva’s Effort and Grace makes several contributions, not the least of which is a critique of Hadot’s work by drawing on the French spiritualist tradition which Hadot himself was indebted to. Kotva’s book should be read by anyone who claims inspiration from Hadot or the growing literature around spiritual exercises. * Metaphilosophy *Kotva’s Effort and Grace is both a brilliant intervention in the contemporary debate over philosophy as spiritual practice and a compelling argument for the importance of Simone Weil to this discussion. Kotva’s book is also the most powerful and erudite treatment of the philosophy of French Spiritualism I am aware of in English. A significant work that is also a delight to read. * Jacob Sherman, Professor of Philosophy and Religion, California Institute for Integral Studies, USA *Increasingly it is seen that there are not two schools of modern philosophy: Analytic and Continental but three: English Empiricism, German Idealism and French Spiritualism. This books serves as a truly excellent and absorbing English introduction to this 'third way', with its extraordinary combination of introspection and realism, humanism and naturalism, mysticism and speculation, that render it so fitted to our new Twenty-First Century concerns and crises. * John Milbank, Professor Emeritus of Religion, Politics and Ethics, University of Nottingham, UK *In this pioneering monograph, Kotva shows how philosophy as spiritual exercise plays a crucial part in one current of modern, as well as all of ancient philosophy. As a result, Simone Weil is elevated to a position of central importance: her Christian hesitation between revived ancient schools demonstrates how the philosophical question of correct attention to reality is an integrally existential as well as conceptual matter. This book brilliantly demonstrates how Weil’s life and her thought continue to resonate with the deepest issues of our times. * Catherine Pickstock, Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge, UK *Table of ContentsPreface 1 The spiritual exercise of philosophy: two ideals 2 The spiritual life: Maine de Biran 3 Grace: Félix Ravaisson 4 Effort: Henri Bergson and Alain (Émile Chartier) 5 The paradox of attention: Simone Weil 6 Epilogue: Reclaiming attention Bibliography Index

Critics and defenders of MacIntyre’s approach, including MacIntyre himself, are well represented, as are the thinkers through which the value of Aristotle’s ethics are discussed, including Marx, J. L. Austin, and Charles Taylor. The result is a fascinating exploration of some of the major issues, both practical and theoretical, confronting moral and social philosophy today. -- Richard Kraut, Charles and Emma Morrison Professor in the Humanities, Northwestern University, USADrawing on a wide range of sources from different traditions, the collection makes for a thoroughly informative exploration of Aristotelian virtue ethics. Front and centre are themes from MacIntyre’s work, especially flourishing in the political community, which makes this collection of 14 essays an essential read for those interested in understanding MacIntyre’s programme. -- Joachim Aufderheide, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, King’s College London, UKThis volume is a welcome addition to the literature on Aristotelian political theories. It relates the MacIntyrean views to various debates inside and outside of Aristotelian theories. MacIntyre allows diversity, criticism and dialogue, unlike the misunderstood view of communitarianism.

Book SynopsisPolitical philosophy asks questions of great importance to our lives, both as individuals and members of political communities: What is justice? What does the state owe to its citizens? Under which conditions are different forms of government likely to be stable? The relevance of empirical research to such questions, however, has been largely underexplored. Introducing experimental political philosophy as a burgeoning field of inquiry, this volume brings together leading scholars using empirical methods to shed light on questions of justice and politics, and encourages them to reflect on the relationship of their methodologies to less empirically-focused approaches. Chapters cover traditional topics including distributive justice, egalitarianism, property rights, and healthcare justice, as well as outlining new directions and applications, such as the problem of misogynistic extremist movements, the public justification of immigration enforcement, and the relationship betwee

Book SynopsisExistential gratitudegratitude for one's very existence or life as a wholeis pervasive across the most influential human, cultural and religious traditions. Weaving together analytic and continental, as well as non-western and historical philosophical perspectives, this volume explores the nexus of gratitude, existence and God as an inter-subjective phenomenon for the first time.A team of leading scholars introduce existential gratitude as a perennially and characteristically human phenomenon, central to the distinctive life of our species. Attention is given to the conditions under which existence itself might be construed as having a gift-like or otherwise gratitude-inducing character.Drawing on a diversity of perspectives, chapters mark out new territory in philosophical inquiry, addressing whether and in what sense we ought to be grateful for our very existence. By analysing gratitude, this collection makes a novel contribution to the discourse on moral emotions,

Book SynopsisBy re-examining Nietzsche''s notion of the eternal-feminine and his views on women and feminism, this volume offers new perspectives on some of his key ideas. It brings together a diverse group of scholars to critically engage with Nietzsche's use of late-19th-century gender stereotypes and the ways in which they served his critique of values, including his use of woman as a trope for truth. Among other subjects, the contributors consider the role of psychology in Nietzsche''s thought, his concern with style, self-creation, and advocacy of perfectionism, his views on romantic love and marriage, and his aim of revaluing all values to instigate a distant philosophy of the future. They investigate parallels between Nietzsche's thought and Shaktism, his relation to Goethe and Stendahl, and his influence on Beauvoir, Butler, and Dohm.

Book SynopsisJakub Jirsa provides the first book-length study of the function argument, outlining its central importance for Aristotle's ethics and his understanding of happiness and living well. The Function Argument in Aristotle's Ethics gives a systematic account of the development of the function argument from Plato's Republic to the Nicomachean Ethics, with an explication of the interdependence between different versions of the argument which appear in Aristotle''s ethical writings. In careful close readings of Aristotle's Proptrepticus, the Eudemian Ethics and the Nicomachean Ethics, Jirsa makes the case that the function (ergon) argument that the function of human beings is virtuous activity of the rational part of the soul serves as a transition from formal to substantial ethical debate and helps to differentiate between happiness and the happy life. The book then evaluates Aristotle's function argument against contemporary critiques. With English translations of sections of the Proptrepticus based on the recent reconstruction from ancient sources and fragments, this volume offers a novel context for understanding a key element of Aristotle's ethical works, and is an ideal reference for those studying Aristotelian ethics, virtue ethics and the history of philosophy.

Book SynopsisPresenting ten diverse and original moral paradoxes, this cutting edge work of philosophical ethics makes a focused, concrete case for the centrality of paradoxes within morality.Trade Review"This is an excellent book which I recommend wholeheartedly both as a source of beneficial thought experiments for the professional moral philosopher, and as a better stimulus for the student of moral philosophy than any theory-focused book could possibly be . . . It is clearly, elegantly and succinctly written, it is provocative and sometimes perplexing without ever crossing the line into the melodramatic or the precious and, perhaps best of all, it promotes tentative conclusions whilst leaving the reader plenty of space to pursue each of the issues further for herself." (The Analysis Trust, 3 July 2011) “Smilansky’s examples are freshly minted… They’re thought provoking, and Smilansky’s discussion is a pleasure… [I]f we take morality seriously, we need to reflect with open minds about the kinds of cases he describes, and finding views we can live with will constitute some kind of progress in our moral life.” (Mark Sainsbury FBA, Times Literary Supplement) “Saul Smilansky's 10 Moral Paradoxes is a delightful book. The paradoxes are easy to appreciate and though it's written in a light and accessible style, it still has plenty of philosophical heft. ” (Michael Cholbi, PEA Soup) “His writing is clear and lively. He avoids unnecessary technicalities. His ideas are grounded in vivid examples.” (Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, May 2009) “[B]rief, succinct, and a pleasure to read. Some of the chapters (for instance, the chapter on Fortunate Misfortune) would also make excellent reading for seminars on any undergraduate course… It is well worth reading.” (Theoria)Table of ContentsList of Figures viii Acknowledgments ix Introduction 1 1 Fortunate Misfortune 11 2 The Paradox of Beneficial Retirement 23 3 Two Paradoxes about Justice and the Severity of Punishment 33 4 Blackmail: The Solution 42 5 The Paradox of Non-Punishment 50 6 On Not Being Sorry about the Morally Bad 59 7 Choice-Egalitarianism and the Paradox of the Baseline 67 8 Morality and Moral Worth 77 9 The Paradox of Moral Complaint 90 10 Preferring Not to Have Been Born 100 11 A Meta-Paradox: Are Paradoxes Bad? 113 12 Reflections on Moral Paradox 122 Postscript: The Future and Moral Paradox 134 References 138 Index 142

Book SynopsisThis collection by leading scholars represents state of the art writings on the ethics of war. Many of the most important and contested controversies in modern war receive comprehensive discussion: the practice of torture, terrorism, assassination and targeted killing, the bombing of civilians in war, humanitarian intervention, and the invasion of Iraq Analytical introduction provides a guide to recent developments in the ethics of war An excellent overview for general readers interested in the current debate and controversies over the ethics of war Trade Review“The authors took obvious care to set out their arguments in as clear a fashion as possible. They are not the kind of philosophers who populate indecipherably intricate sentences with legions of exotic terms. Rather, they practice the disciplined use of facts, ethical theories, legal literature, and even a degree of common sense to arrive at a better understanding of genuinely vital issues. War, Torture and Terrorism could easily be adapted for use in undergraduate philosophy courses. More importantly, it should be warmly welcomed by those members of the lay public who are interested in thinking beyond the limits of sound-bite rhetoric and five hundred word opeds.” (Metapsychology, December 2008)Table of ContentsList of Contributors vii 1 Introduction 1 The Ethics of War: State of the ArtDavid Rodin 2 Luck, Evidence and War 7Rob Lawlor 3 Defending the Common Life: National-Defense After Rodin 19Deane-Peter Baker 4 Humanitarian Intervention: Closing the Gap Between Theory and Practice 35Gillian Brock 5 Iraq: A Morally Justified Resort to War 51David Mellow 6 Moral Tragedies, Supreme Emergencies and National-Defense 71Daniel Statman 7 Assassination and Targeted Killing: Law Enforcement, Execution of Self-Defense? 83Michael L.
