Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persuasivo e humano para com a humanidade, este clássico da filosofia representa um dos mais significativos tratados de ética do século XIX. A Base da Moralidade oferece o exame mais completo de Schopenhauer de temas éticos tradicionais e articula uma forma descritiva de ética que contradiz as teorias prescritivas racionalmente baseadas. A partir de sua polêmica contra a ética do dever de Kant, Schopenhauer antecipa os críticos contemporâneos da filosofia moral. Argumentando que a compaixão forma a base da moralidade, ele esboça uma perspectiva sobre ética na qual paixão e desejo correspondem a diferentes personagens morais, comportamentos e visões de mundo. Em conclusão, Schopenhauer define sua metafísica da moral, empregando o idealismo transcendental de Kant para ilustrar tanto a interconectividade do ser quanto a afinidade de sua ética com o pensamento oriental. "Após considerações preliminares, em parte para mostrar a dificuldade do assunto, em parte para limpar o terreno (Parte I.), o tratado abre com uma crítica penetrante da Base Ética de Kant, do Princípio Principal de seu sistema e de suas formas derivadas. (Parte II, Capítulos I.-VI.) [4] A conclusão de Schopenhauer é que o Imperativo Categórico é uma teia muito habilmente tecida, mas na realidade nada mais que a velha base teológica disfarçada, sendo esta última o indispensável, embora invisível, prendedor de roupa para o primeiro; e que o tour de main de Kant de deduzir sua Teologia Moral da Ética é como inverter uma pirâmide. A teoria da Consciência é discutida a seguir (Capítulo VII). O elemento semi-sobrenatural que Kant introduziu sob a forma altamente dramática de um tribunal de justiça realizando uma sessão secreta no peito é examinado e eliminado; e Consciência é definida como o conhecimento que temos de nós mesmos por meio de nossos atos."

Download or read book Respeito Sentimento Moral e Facto da Raz o written by Flávia Carvalho Chagas and published by NEPFIL online. This book was released on 2013-12-02 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O presente livro é o resultado das pesquisas realizadas em nível de mestrado e tem como objetivo mostrar como é possível interpretar a ligação, sistematicamente crucial, entre o fato da razão e o sentimento de respeito pela lei moral a partir da análise da figura do sentimento moral. Uma das ideias mais controversas entre os comentadores da ética kantiana é justamente saber que função pode desempenhar o sentimento moral, tendo em vista a pretensão de Kant de justificar um critério de avaliação moral baseado na ideia de validade intersubjetiva e universal. Como, então, pode a consciência moral ter influência na práxis e fazer com que o agente seja capaz de tomar interesse pelo agir moral, eis o tema desta investigação.

Download or read book Casuistry and Modern Ethics written by Richard B. Miller and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1996-11 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did the Gulf War defend moral principle or Western oil interests? Is violent pornography an act of free speech or an act of violence against women? In Casuistry and Modern Ethics, Richard B. Miller sheds new light on the potential of casuistry—case-based reasoning—for resolving these and other questions of conscience raised by the practical quandaries of modern life. Rejecting the packaging of moral experience within simple descriptions and inflexible principles, Miller argues instead for identifying and making sense of the ethically salient features of individual cases. Because this practical approach must cope with a diverse array of experiences, Miller draws on a wide variety of diagnostic tools from such fields as philosophy of science, legal reasoning, theology, literary theory, hermeneutics, and moral philosophy. Opening new avenues for practical reasoning, Miller's interdisciplinary work will challenge scholars who are interested in the intersections of ethics and political philosophy, cultural criticism, and debates about method in religion and morality.

Download or read book The Role of History in Latin American Philosophy written by Arleen Salles and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings the history of Latin American philosophy to an English-speaking audience through the prominent voices of Mauricio Beuchot, Horacio Cerutti-Guldberg, María Luisa Femenías, Jorge J. E. Gracia, Oscar R. Martí, León Olivé, Carlos Pereda, and Eduardo Rabossi. They argue that Spanish is not a philosophically irrelevant language and that there are original positions to be found in the work of Latin American philosophers. Part I of the book looks at why the history of philosophy has not developed in Latin America. A range of theoretical issues are explored, each focusing on specific problems that have hindered the development of a solid history. Part II details the complex task of writing a history of philosophy for a region still haunted by the specter of colonialism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julio Cabrera aúna en este libro sus dos grandes pasiones: el cine y la filosofía. En cada capítulo de este libro Cabrera analiza una o más películas elegidas cuidadosamente para reflexionar sobre una cuestión filosófica central. Aristóteles y los ladrones de bicicletas; Bacon y Steven Spielberg; Descartes y los fotógrafos indiscretos, Schopenhauer, Buñuel y Frank Capra; Nietzsche, Clint Eastwood y los asesinos por naturaleza; o Wittgenstein y el cine mudo son algunos de los ejercicios filocinematrográficos propuestos. Los comentarios de películas que el lector encontrará destacan aquellos puntos del filme que deben contribuir a la instauración de la experiencia vivida de un problema filosófico. Esta experiencia en sí es insustituible y nadie podrá tenerla por uno. Tan sólo señalo los lugares en donde el filme duele, en donde puede aprenderse alguna cosa padeciéndolo. Estamos ante el encuentro no programado y mutuamente esclarecedor entre una actividad milenaria del ser humano y uno de los más fascinantes lenguajes emergentes de los últimos tiempos: 100 años de imágenes tratando de representar 2.500 años de reflexión

Download or read book Contemporary Perspectives on Natural Law written by Dr Ana Marta González and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resorting to natural law is one way of conveying the philosophical conviction that moral norms are not merely conventional rules. Accordingly, the notion of natural law has a clear metaphysical dimension, since it involves the recognition that human beings do not conceive themselves as sheer products of society and history. And yet, if natural law is to be considered the fundamental law of practical reason, it must show also some intrinsic relationship to history and positive law. The essays in this book examine this tension between the metaphysical and the practical and how the philosophical elaboration of natural law presents this notion as a "limiting-concept", between metaphysics and ethics, between the mutable and the immutable; between is and ought, and, in connection with the latter, even the tension between politics and eschatology as a double horizon of ethics. This book, contributed to by scholars from Europe and America, is a major contribution to the renewed interest in natural law. It provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of natural law, both from a historical and a systematic point of view. It ranges from the mediaeval synthesis of Aquinas through the early modern elaborations of natural law, up to current discussions on the very possibility and practical relevance of natural law theory for the contemporary mind.
Download or read book The Typic in Kant s Critique of Practical Reason written by Adam Westra and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-03-07 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a short chapter of the Critique of Practical Reason entitled “On the Typic of the Pure Practical Power of Judgment,” Kant addresses a crucial problem facing his theory of moral judgment: How can we represent the supersensible moral law so as to apply it to actions in the sensible world? Despite its importance to Kant's project, previous studies of the Typic have been fragmentary, disparate, and contradictory. This book provides a detailed commentary on the Typic, elucidating how it enables moral judgment by means of the law of nature, which serves as the 'type', or analogue, of the moral law. In addition, the book situates the Typic, both historically and conceptually, within Kant's theory of symbolic representation. While many commentators have assimilated the Typic to the aesthetic notion of 'symbolic hypotyposis' in the third Critique, the author contends that it has greater continuities with the theoretical notion of 'symbolic anthropomorphism' in the Prolegomena. As the first comprehensive, book-length study of the Typic that critically engages with the secondary literature, this monograph fills an important gap in the research on Kant's ethics and aesthetics and provides a starting point for further inquiry and debate.
