The Ethics of Aristotle

Aristotle

Beschreibung

In "The Ethics of Aristotle," the revered philosopher explores the principles of moral philosophy, providing a systematic examination of virtue and the path to achieving a good life. Written in a dialectical style, the work is framed around the concept of eudaimonia—often translated as flourishing or well-being. Aristotle's analytical approach distinguishes between moral virtues, which are acquired through habit, and intellectual virtues, which arise from teaching, thereby enriching the text's exploration of ethical development in a societal context. This foundational work laid the groundwork for future ethical discourse, interweaving personal ethics with broader social implications. Aristotle, a student of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great, possessed a profound understanding of human nature, the polis, and the dynamics of virtue. His empirical background, emphasizing observation and experience over idealism, significantly influenced his philosophical inquiries. The interplay of ethics and politics is particularly relevant in Aristotle's thought, as he believed that ethical behavior is integral to the well-being of both the individual and society. Readers interested in moral philosophy, political theory, or the historical evolution of ethical thought will find "The Ethics of Aristotle" indispensable. Its timeless insights into the nature of virtue and the pursuit of the good life continue to resonate today, offering rich guidance for personal and communal flourishing.

The Zong - A Massacre the Law &...

James Walvin

The first full review of the mass murder by crew members on the slave ship Zong and the lasting repercussions of this horrifying event 
 
 
 
On November 29, 1781, Captain Collingwood of the British ship Zong commanded his crew to throw overboard one-third of his cargo: a shipment of Africans bound for slavery in America. The captain believed his ship was off course, and he feared there was not enough drinking water to last until landfall. This book is the first to examine in detail the deplorable killings on the Zong, the lawsuit that ensued, how the murder of 132 slaves affected debates about slavery, and the way we remember the infamous Zong today. 
 
 
 
Historian James Walvin explores all aspects of the Zong's voyage and the subsequent trial—a case brought to court not for the murder of the slaves but as a suit against the insurers who denied the owners' claim that their "cargo" had been necessarily jettisoned. The scandalous case prompted wide debate and fueled Britain's awakening abolition movement. Without the episode of the Zong, Walvin contends, the process of ending the slave trade would have taken an entirely different moral and political trajectory. He concludes with a fascinating discussion of how the case of the Zong, though unique in the history of slave ships, has come to be understood as typical of life on all such ships.
