Brand: Simon Blackburn

9780198868101Categoria: Libri e riviste
Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring\n\nOur self-image as moral, well-behaved creatures is dogged by scepticism, relativism, hypocrisy, and nihilism, and by the fear that in a Godless world science has unmasked us as creatures fated by our genes to be selfish and tribalistic, or competitive and aggressive. Here, Simon Blackburn tackles the major moral questions surrounding birth, death, happiness, desire, and freedom, showing us how we should think about the meaning of life, and why we should mistrust the soundbite-sized absolutes that often dominate moral debates.\n\nThis second edition of the Very Short Introduction on Ethics has revised and updated aspects of the original to reflect changing times and mores. It highlights the importance of an understanding of approaches to ethics and its foundations, confronted as we are with a fluid and uncertain world of eroding trust, swirling conspiracy theories, and a dismaying loss of respect in public discourse.\n\nABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

EAN:
9780141014258Categoria: Libri e riviste
This important book is about truth, and the enemies of truth, and the wars that are fought between them. As Simon Blackburn says in his introduction, \"the ground is complicated, strewn with abandoned fortresses and trenches, fought over by shifting alliances\". Truth is an essential sure-footed guide through the territory, from classical to modern times. It looks at relativism and absolutism, toleration and belief, objectivity and knowledge, science and pseudo-science, and the moral and political implications, as well as the nuances, of all these.

Arguta analisi che parte dai miti del passato.\r\n\r\n«Una dissertazione elegante e rigorosa, in cui Blackburn contrappone la sana soggettività alle smanie del narcisismo, sottolineando che il rispetto di se stessi è alla base del rispetto per gli altri» – Literary Review\r\n\r\n«Un saggio ben scritto, divertente e ricco di splendide intuizioni. Blackburn ci offre un magnifico ritratto psicologico dei nostri leader, senza dubbio affetti da narcisismo» – The Independent\r\n\r\n«Uno dei migliori divulgatori di filosofia» – The Economist\r\n\r\n«“Perché voi valete”… Non che prima fossi ignaro della vanità degli esseri umani, o di quella degli umani desideri. Ma c’era qualcosa di particolarmente sfacciato nello slogan sbandierato da L’Oréal, e io ho sentito il bisogno di affrontarlo e di capirlo. Era come uno spiraglio su un mondo più buio, più malvagio.»\r\n\r\nSicuri di sé, compiaciuti, perennemente affascinati dal proprio riflesso nell'acqua. Armati di smartphone e ansiosi di scattare l'ennesimo selfie per rendersi protagonisti della scena. Le forme che può assumere il narcisismo sono tante, fino a renderci innegabilmente odiosi. Ma il narcisismo è sempre un deplorabile nemico? Non sempre, risponde il filosofo Simon Blackburn. E con un'arguta analisi che parte dai miti del passato, attraversa le epoche storiche, filosofiche e letterarie e arriva fino agli slogan pubblicitari di oggi, attingendo alla sapienza di Aristotele, Cicerone, Erasmo, Rousseau, Adam Smith, Kant e Iris Murdoch, Blackburn offre un'esplorazione a tutto tondo delle tante, variegate e a volte singolari forme che può assumere l'amor proprio. Tuttavia, sostiene Blackburn, se l'egoismo è un male da combattere, non lo è invece la cura dell'io: guardarsi allo specchio e magari ammettere di non poter resistere a certe pulsioni è segno di grande sincerità verso se stessi. Quale essere umano, infatti, non ha mai desiderato ricevere delle lodi? E chi di noi, nel soffrire o gioire per gli altri, riesce a dimenticare completamente se stesso?

Simon Blackburn Being Good: A Short Introduction To Ethics

Spedizione: 2.7 EUR
Brand: Simon Blackburn
EAN:
9780192853776Categoria: Libri e riviste
It is not only in our dark hours that scepticism, relativism, hypocrisy, and nihilism dog ethics. Whether it is a matter of giving to charity, or sticking to duty, or insisting on our rights, we can be confused, or be paralysed by the fear that our principles are groundless. Many are afraid that in a Godless world science has unmasked us as creatures fated by our genes to be selfish and tribalistic, or competitive and aggressive. Simon Blackburn, author of the best-selling Think, structures this short introduction around these and other threats to ethics. Confronting seven different objections to our self-image as moral, well-behaved creatures, he charts a course through the philosophical quicksands that often engulf us. Then, turning to problems of life and death, he shows how we should think about the meaning of life, and how we should mistrust the sound-bite sized absolutes that often dominate moral debates. Finally he offers a critical tour of the ways the philosophical tradition has tried to provide foundations for ethics, from Plato and Aristotle through to contemporary debates.

John T. Hamilton Complacency: Classics And Its Displacement In Higher Education
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: John T. Hamilton
EAN:
9780226818634Categoria: Libri e riviste
A critical reflection on complacency and its role in the decline of classics in the academy.\n \n In response to philosopher Simon Blackburn's portrayal of complacency as a vice that impairs university study at its core, John T. Hamilton examines the history of complacency in classics and its implications for our contemporary moment.\n \n The subjects, philosophies, and literatures of ancient Greece and Rome were once treated as the foundation of learning, with everything else devolving from them. Hamilton investigates what this model of superiority, derived from the golden age of the classical tradition, shares with the current hegemony of mathematics and the natural sciences. He considers how the qualitative methods of classics relate to the quantitative positivism of big data, statistical reasoning, and presumably neutral abstraction, which often dismiss humanist subjectivity, legitimize self-sufficiency, and promote a fresh brand of academic complacency. In acknowledging the reduced status of classics in higher education today, he questions how scholarly striation and stagnation continue to bolster personal, ethical, and political complacency in our present era.
