Sinopse

In "Knowing and Acting," John Alexander Smith presents a thought-provoking exploration of the interplay between knowledge and action in ethical decision-making. Written in a lucid style enriched with philosophical insights, the book examines various epistemological frameworks, arguing for a nuanced understanding of how knowledge influences moral behavior. Smith deftly navigates historical and contemporary philosophical thought, drawing from figures such as Aristotle and Kant, and intertwining this analysis with real-world examples that resonate with today's ethical dilemmas. Through a blend of rigorous argumentation and accessible prose, Smith invites readers to reflect critically on their own beliefs and actions. John Alexander Smith, a prominent philosopher and educator, has dedicated his career to studying the intersections of ethics, knowledge, and social responsibility. Influenced by his extensive research in epistemology and moral philosophy, Smith's perspective is shaped by both his academic training and his personal commitment to fostering a more ethical society. His insights are informed by years of teaching and dialogue with students, where the practical implications of knowledge have continually emerged as a focal point. For readers seeking a deeper understanding of how our knowledge shapes our actions, "Knowing and Acting" offers a compelling framework for examining the moral implications of our beliefs. This book is essential for students, educators, and anyone interested in ethical philosophy, serving as both a guide and a call to action in the pursuit of a more conscientious life.

    The Hebridean island of Islay is well-known for its whisky, its wildlife and its association with the MacDonald Lords of the Isles. There would seem to be little reason to dwell on its fate at the hands of marauding Northmen during the Viking Age. Despite a pivotal location on the 'sea road' from Norway to Ireland, there are no convincing records of the Vikings ever having been there. In recent years, historians have been keen to marginalise the island's Viking experience, choosing instead to focus on the enduring stability of native Celtic culture, and tracing the island's modern Gaelic traditions back in an unbroken chain to the dawn of the Christian era. However, the foundations of this presumption are flawed. With no written accounts to go by, the real story of Islay's Viking Age has to be read from another type of source material - the silent witness of the names of local places. The Vikings in Islay presents a systematic review of around 240 of the island's farm and nature names. The conclusions drawn turn traditional assumptions on their head. The romance of Islay's names, it seems, masks a harrowing tale of invasion, apartheid and ethnic cleansing.

    From the man that the New York Times calls “the most important person you’ve never heard of,” renowned Cambridge University economist Sir Partha Dasgupta, comes a paradigm shifting treatise, asking a simple yet profound question—what if we put a value on nature, just as we put a value on everything else? Narrated by Sid Sagar. 
    For just about everything of value in life, there is an economic model. If it matters to us, we have found a way to put a dollar amount on it—to quantify its importance in our lives and society. These models and metrics tell us that our economies are healthy because they are growing. And yet for as long as they have existed, our economic models have served us an incomplete picture; they fail to account for the fact that our growth is driven by a resource that we take for free and treat as infinite: nature. Indeed, for centuries we have been using nature as if it were limitless, but more than ever, we are recognizing that our demands on the natural world are unsustainable. 
    In On Natural Capital, award-winning Cambridge University economist Sir Partha Dasgupta lays out a seminal new approach to economics that asks, what if we were to put a value on nature just as we value everything else? Rooted in mankind’s struggle against climate change, Dasgupta’s approach examines the existential need to rethink our relationship to nature and see its preservation as an economic imperative. Challenging much of economic thought that has come before, Dasgupta presents an urgent call to transform the focus and structures of global economics with a profound new model—one so radical that only an economist of his stature could make the world take it seriously. On Natural Capital is a bold and groundbreaking book that could, truly, change everything.
