0729. Tác giả chính: Colin Howson
Nhan đề: Hume’s problem : induction and the justification of belief / Colin Howson
Số phân loại : 161 C428; Đặc điểm vật lý: 261 p. ; 23 cm
     *Tóm tắt : In the mid-eighteenth century David Hume argued that successful prediction tells us nothing about the truth of the predicting theory. But physical theory routinely predicts the values of observable magnitudes within very small ranges of error. The chance of this sort of predictive success without a true theory suggests that Hume's argument is flawed. However, Colin Howson argues that there is no flaw and examines the implications of this disturbing conclusion; he also offers a solution to one of the central problems of Western philosophy, the problem of induction      .

0734. Tác giả chính: Christian F.R. Illies


Nhan đề: The grounds of ethical judgement : new transcendental arguments in moral philosophy / Christian F.R. Illies
Số phân loại : 170 CH555; Đặc điểm vật lý: viii, 214Tr ; 22 cm
     *Tóm tắt : Is it merely a matter of taste or convention to consider something right or wrong? Or can we find good reasons for our values and judgements that are independent of culture and tradition? The problem is as old as philosophy itself; and after more than two millennia of scholarly debate, there seems no end to the controversy. But Christian Illies suggests that powerful new forms of transcendental argument (a philosophical tool known since antiquity) may offer a long-sought cornerstone for morality      .

0738. Tác giả chính: Philippa Foot


Nhan đề: Natural goodness / Philippa Foot
Số phân loại : 170 PH309; Đặc điểm vật lý: 125Tr ; 25 cm
     *Tóm tắt : Philippa Foot has for many years been one of the most distinctive and influential thinkers in moral philosophy. Long dissatisfied with the moral theories of her contemporaries, she has gradually evolved a theory of her own that is radically opposed not only to emotivism and prescriptivism but also to the whole subjectivist, anti-naturalist movement deriving from David Hume. Dissatisfied with both Kantian and utilitarian ethics, she claims to have isolated a special form of evaluation that predicates goodness and defect only to living things considered as such; she finds this form of evaluation in moral judgements      .

Nhan đề: A practical companion to ethics / Anthony Weston
Số phân loại : 170 A628; Đặc điểm vật lý: xi, 96Tr ; 21 cm
     *Tóm tắt : A Practical Companion to Ethics, 2/e, is a concise and accessible introduction to the basic attitudes and skills that make ethics work, like thinking for oneself, creative and integrative problem-solving, and keeping an open mind. This unique volume illuminates the broad kinds of practical intelligence required in moral judgment, complementing the narrower theoretical considerations that often dominate ethics courses. It offers practical instruction in problem-solving by demonstrating how to frame an ethical problem and deal effectively with ethical disagreements. This book also addresses issues of the heart--the call to responsiveness and care that underlies formal ethical theories. The appendix offers an extended and specific guide to writing papers in ethics      .

0740. Tác giả chính: Timothy Shanahan


Nhan đề: Reason and insight : Western and Eastern perspectives on the pursuit of moral wisdom / Timothy Shanahan, Robin Wang
Số phân loại : 170 T310; Đặc điểm vật lý: xx, 492Tr ; 24 cm
Tác giả khác: Robin Wang
     *Tóm tắt : The aim of REASON AND INSIGHT is twofold: first, to provide a comprehensive, multicultural introduction to ethics that includes substantial selections from the main Western and Eastern philosophies and religious traditions, and second, to enable students to explore how these perspectives are applied to a range of contemporary moral problems. Beginning with an engaging, accessible introduction to fundamental metaethical issues, the text then delves into particular ethical theories from both the Western and Eastern traditions. Finally, the relevance of these more abstract concerns is made more concrete in the concluding section that presents current scholarship devoted to applying these theories to pressing moral concerns with which students will be familiar. With REASON AND INSIGHT, students are exposed, in a single text, to all of the most important Western and Eastern moral theories and thereby are encouraged to reexamine critically their own moral perspectives in light of many other historically and/or culturally remote standpoints.      .

0741. Tác giả chính: Christina Sommers


Nhan đề: Vice & virtue in everyday life : introductory readings in ethics / [compiled by] Christina Sommers, Fred Sommers
Số phân loại : 170 C313; Đặc điểm vật lý: xiii, 668 p. ; 24 cm
Tác giả khác: Fred Sommers
     *Tóm tắt : A comprehensive and provocative collection of both classical and contemporary voices in perennial ethical debates, VICE AND VIRTUE has established itself as one of the truly outstanding anthologies for Introduction to Ethics Courses. In contradistinction to many other introduction to ethics books that focus on the application of moral theories to various institutionally based social dilemmas, VICE AND VIRTUE is unabashedly committed to the exploration of private, individual virtue and responsibility. This book provides both an overview of seminal ethical theories as well as many stimulating readings chosen to encourage students' own reflection on how these abstract theories impact decisions they face individually in their everyday lives      .
