The Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals - Immanual Kant - Bog - Prometheus Books - Plusbog.dk

The Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals - Immanual Kant - Bog - Prometheus Books - Plusbog.dk

The nature and theoretical underpinnings of ethics have been an intellectual driving force animating the pursuits of great scholars. In The Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals (1785) Immanuel Kant, one of the most powerful philosophical minds of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, inquires into the true nature of morality.In rejecting the results or consequences of action as the foundation of moral judgments, he denies that good or bad effects have any relevance in the moral evaluation of human behavior. Instead, we must rely upon the Good Will for guidance. What is this Will upon which so much emphasis is placed, and how does it act as the foundation for behavior that can be assessed as truly moral? In this groundbreaking work, Kant outlines an ethical perspective that has been a vital force in the Western world.

Michel Foucault's Force of Flight - James William Bernauer - Bog - Prometheus Books - Plusbog.dk

Michel Foucault's Force of Flight - James William Bernauer - Bog - Prometheus Books - Plusbog.dk

Michel Foucault''s Force of Light offers a comprehensive, chronological reading of Foucault''s published, and many unpublished, writings. James Bernauer claims that Foucault''s achievement was to have fashioned a series of inquiries that makes it possible to question the activity of thought itself as an ethical practice. Foucault''s ethic historicizes Kant''s great questions on knowledge, obligation, and hope. He asks not "What can I know?" but rather "How have my questions been produced? How has the path of my knowing been determined?" Not "What ought I to know?" or "What may I hope for?" by "How have the parameters of my aspirations been defined?"

The Wisdom of the Enlightenment - Michael K. Kellogg - Bog - Prometheus Books - Plusbog.dk

The Wisdom of the Enlightenment - Michael K. Kellogg - Bog - Prometheus Books - Plusbog.dk

Enlightenment—Aufklärung in German, Lumières in French—is more an idea than a period. But it is an idea that took hold in a particular historical context of revolutionary scientific advances, increasing economic and social freedom, rising literacy and prosperity, and a greater willingness to challenge the authoritarianism of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In The Wisdom of the Enlightenment, author Michael K. Kellogg points to 1637, the year that gave us Rene Descartes’ landmark inquiry into truth, as the beginning of a period that radically changed individual human thought and collective societal action. From Descartes’ assertion of “I think, therefore I am,” to the philosophies of Enlightenment thinkers like Moliere, Spinoza, Voltaire, Hume, and Kant, this book charts the new and revolutionary philosophies at a time when progress seemed possible across the whole range of human knowledge and endeavor. In sweeping aside tired superstitions and applying a new scientific methodology, the Enlightenment ideas of progress through free exercise of reason ushered us into the modern world. This engaging and comprehensive survey of Enlightenment thoughts and thinkers is a celebration of the faith that all problems are solvable by human reason.
