  • Cambridge University Press Ethics and the Quest for Wisdom

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis study defends new foundations for ethics and value theory, arguing that ethical principles can be seen to emerge from the philosophical quest for wisdom itself. It will appeal to all who are interested in ethical challenges posed by pluralism and diversity of cultures, and in debates about value relativism.Trade Review'This book is bold and ambitious. It is full of original ideas, which it seeks to integrate, by means of careful argument, with more familiar moral notions. It is, for many reasons, a most welcome addition to the literature.' Richard Kraut, Northwestern University'Modernity has left us with a world where we are uncertain about what values to hold and how our lives should be lived. Kane's work provides us with the most imaginative and compelling response to these challenges in years. This is one of those rare works where you sense you are being guided through new terrain by a learned and wise soul.' Mark Bernstein, Purdue University'An exciting and ambitious book. Kane introduces and defends a complete ethical theory that represents a genuinely novel approach to normative ethics. His overriding theme is that moral constraints flow from the search for wisdom in an ancient philosophical sense … The book is valuable not only for the novelty and promise of its central ideas, but also for its clear exegesis of other important positions.' Alexa Forrester, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews'[This] book is bold, ambitious and merits careful study. [It] contains a sustained argument for a meta-ethical and normative theory that contains a theory of right action and a theory of the good life, a unified conception of practical and theoretical reasoning, a survey of the main theories of normative ethics and an account of the application of his theory in political philosophy, applied ethics, philosophy of law, feminist ethics and moral education. Kane's ethical theory synthesizes elements of ancient eudaimonism, Kant's moral theory and Mill's classical liberalism.' Journal of Moral Philosophy'This book is a rare thing: a monograph that is accessible. It brings together a number of central ethical theories, clearly presented, and discusses their advantages and shortcomings in the light of the new theory of the book. The author takes care to illustrate the theories he discusses with vivid examples drawn from both the ethics literature and general culture.' The Philosophical Quarterly'Kane carefully addresses a large number of topics, including both the right and the good, as well as meta-ethical issues about objectivity, within the compass of a single theory … This is a significant accomplishment from which there is much to learn, both in its overall argument and in its detailed discussions.'

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn this 1977 text, Professor Wartofsky wishes to establish Feuerbach as much more than a transitional figure between Hegel and Marx or an influence on important later developments.

Prefaratory reflections by way of an introduction; 2. Early Hegelian epistemology: the dissertation; 3. History of philosophy: genetic analysis as the critique of concepts; 4. Leibniz: the history of philosophy as immanent critique; 5. Critique of belief: Leibniz and Bayle; 6. The critique of Hegelian philosophy: part I; 7. The critique of Hegelian philosophy; part II; 8. The philosophical context of Feuerbach's critique of religion; 9. Religion as self-alienation of human consciousness: the phenomenology of religious and theological concept formation; 10. Reason, existence, and creation: God as an ontological principle; 11. The critique of philosophy and the development of a materialist humanism - part I: empiricism, sensationalism, and realism in Feuerbach's later works; 12. The critique of philosophy and the development of a materialist humanism - part II: anthropologism and materialism: nature and human nature in Feuerbach's later works; Notes; Selected bibliography; Index.
