Principia Ethica - Exploring the Non-Natural Concept of Good: A Philosophical Inquiry into Ethics and Moral Dilemmas

G. E. Moore

Beschreibung

In "Principia Ethica," G. E. Moore presents a groundbreaking analysis of ethical theory, arguing for the significance of the intrinsic 'good' as a fundamental aspect of reality. Published in 1903, this philosophical treatise is noted for its rigorous logical structure and innovative approach to moral philosophy. Moore challenges prevalent ethical theories of his time, introducing the famous "naturalistic fallacy" which posits that one cannot derive 'ought' from 'is,' thereby setting a new direction in the study of ethics. The clarity of Moore's prose coupled with his precise arguments marks a pivotal moment in 20th-century philosophy, influencing both analytic and normative ethics dramatically. G. E. Moore, an English philosopher and a key figure in the early analytic tradition, was heavily influenced by the intellectual currents of his time, including the challenges posed by utilitarianism. His academic background at Cambridge and his close relationships with contemporaries like Bertrand Russell profoundly impacted his philosophical inquiries. Moore's commitment to clarity and rigor in ethical discourse led him to delve into the complexities of moral language and the nature of good, placing his work at the forefront of ethical theory. "Principia Ethica" is essential reading for anyone interested in the foundations of moral philosophy. Its arguments about the nature of good and the structure of ethical reasoning continue to resonate in contemporary discussions, making this work not only a cornerstone of philosophical literature but also a vital text for students and scholars alike. Engage with Moore's insights to enrich your understanding of ethical principles and their implications in today'Äôs moral landscape.

We Philologists

Friedrich Nietzsche

Nietzsche argues that philology is not just an academic discipline, but a way of life that requires a deep appreciation for language and culture. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical context of texts, and the need to read them in their original language to fully appreciate their meaning and beauty. "We Philologists" is a passionate and insightful reflection on the value and meaning of philology, and a call to approach the study of language and literature with greater creativity and sensitivity. Read in English, unabridged.

Introduction to Zen Buddhism An

D.T. Suzuki

Buddhism in its course of development has completed a form which distinguishes itself from its so-called primitive or original type—so greatly, indeed, that we are justified in emphasizing its historical division into two schools, Hinayana and Mahayana, or the Lesser Vehicle and the Greater vehicle of salvation. As a matter of fact, the Mahayana, with all its varied formulae, is no more than a developed form of Buddhism and traces back its final authority to its Indian founder, the great Buddha Sakyamuni.

Earth Shapers - How We Mapped...

Maxim Samson

The globetrotting story of how humans have harnessed the geographical landscape and written ourselves onto our surroundings.Mountains, meridians, rivers, and borders—these are some of the features that divide the world on our maps and in our minds. But geography is far less set in stone than we might believe, and, as Maxim Samson’s Earth Shapers contends, in our relatively short time on this planet, humans have become experts at fundamentally reshaping our surroundings.From the Qhapaq Ñan, the Inca’s “great road,” and Mozambique’s colonial railways to a Saudi Arabian smart city, and from Korea’s sacred Baekdu-daegan mountain range and the Great Green Wall in Africa to the streets of Chicago, Samson explores how we mold the world around us. And how, as we etch our needs onto the natural landscape, we alter the course of history. These fascinating stories of connectivity show that in our desire to make geographical connections, humans have broken through boundaries of all kinds, conquered treacherous terrain, and carved up landscapes. We crave linkages, and though we do not always pay attention to the in-between, these pathways—these ways of “earth shaping,” in Samson’s words—are key to understanding our relationship with the planet we call home.An immense work of cultural geography touching on ecology, sociology, history, and politics, Earth Shapers argues that, far from being constrained by geography, we are instead its creators.
