The Death of Character is a broad historical, sociological, and cultural inquiry into the moral life and moral education of young Americans based upon a huge empirical study of the children themselves.

Trust, Ethics and Human Reason
Author: Olli Lagerspetz
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1441109196
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
The variety of approaches to the concept of trust in philosophy reflects the fact that our worries are diverse, from the Hobbesian concern for the possibility of rational cooperation to Wittgenstein's treatment of the place of trust in knowledge. To speak of trust is not only to describe human action but also to take a perspective on it and to engage with it. Olli Lagerspetz breathes new life into the philosophical debate by showing how questions about trust are at the centre of any in-depth analyses of the nature of human agency and human rationality and that these issues, in turn, lie at the heart of philosophical ethics. Ideal for those grappling with these issues for the first time, Trust, Ethics and Human Reason provides a thorough and impassioned assessment of the concept of trust in moral philosophy.

Legal Philosophy
Author: International Association for Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy. World Congress
Publisher: Franz Steiner Verlag
ISBN: 9783515081009
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Many recent political and economic transformations pose difficult questions of legal and social theory. Yet, although these questions are now raised with new urgency, the basic questions are not new. They have long been central features of legal and social philosophy in its most general form. What principles explain or justify legal institutions or decisions, thereby transforming coercion to authority? Are there or could there be any such universal principles? Can any philosophical theory account for such principles? How, if at all, do philosophical theories of law and politics apply to particular issues? And finally, what, if any, do such practical applications tell us about general theories and principles? The essays in this volume represent the efforts of an international group of scholars to understand these general aspects of legal philosophy.
