Freedom, power, and political morality

by Felix Errera Oppenheim

0 Comments

Subject: International Relations - Moral And Ethical Aspects, Liberty, Political Ethics, Power (Social Sciences),

This collection of original essays on political and legal theory concentrates on themes dealt with in the work of Felix Oppenheim, including fundamental political and legal concepts and their implications for the scope of morality in politics and international relations. Among the issues addressed are the relationship between empirical and normative definitions of “freedom”, “power”, and “interests”, whether governments are free to act against the national interest, and whether they can ever be morally obliged to do so.

History of Philosophy, Volume V: Modern Philosophy

by Frederick Copleston

0 Comments

Subject: Philosophy, Philosophy / History & Surveys / General, Philosophy, Ancient, Philosophy, Medieval,

Conceived originally as a serious presentatin of the development of philosophy for Catholic seminary students, Frederick Copleston’s nine-volume “A History Of Philosophy” has journeyed far beyond the modest purpose of its author to universal acclaim as the best history of philosophy in English. Copleston, an Oxford Jesuit of immense erudition who once tangled with A.J. Ayer in a fabled debate about the existence of God and the possibility of metaphysics, knew that seminary students were fed a woefully inadequate diet of theses and proofs, and that their familiarity with most of history’s great thinkers was reduced to simplistic caricatures. Copleston set out to redress the wrong by writing a complete history of Western Philosophy, one crackling with incident an intellectual excitement – and one that gives full place to each thinker, presenting his thought in a beautifully rounded manner and showing his links to those who went before and to those who came after him.

THEOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS

by Jame Schaefer

0 Comments

Subject: Christian Ethics, Christian Ethics/ Catholic Authors, Environmental Ethics,

Earth is imperiled. Human activities are adversely affecting the land, water, air, and myriad forms of biological life that comprise the ecosystems of our planet. Indicators of global warming and holes in the ozone layer inhibit functions vital to the biosphere. Environmental damage to the planet becomes damaging to human health and well-being now and into the future?and too often that damage affects those who are least able to protect themselves. Can religion make a positive contribution to preventing further destruction of biological diversity and ecosystems and threats to our earth? Jame Schaefer thinks that it can, and she examines the thought of Christian Church fathers and medieval theologians to reveal and retrieve insights that may speak to our current plight. By reconstructing the teachings of Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and other classic thinkers to reflect our current scientific understanding of the world, Schaefer shows how to “green” the Catholic faith: to value the goodness of creation, to appreciate the beauty of creation, to respect creation’s praise for God, to acknowledge the kinship of all creatures, to use creation with gratitude and restraint, and to live virtuously within the earth community.

Goodness & Advice

by Judith Jarvis Thomson

0 Comments

Subject: Consequentialism (Ethics), Ethics, Philosophy / Ethics & Moral Philosophy,

“Contemporary moral philosophy at its best. Thomson’s ground plan shows what conditions must be met by any adequate ethical theory. Her arguments are cogent, concise, and uncluttered by literary flourishes.”–Mary Mothersill, Columbia University”The main value of these lectures lies in the way Thomson develops moral theory beyond her earlier publications. Her style has always been quite distinctive, and I find it a pleasure to read.”–Gilbert Harman, author of “Thought”
