Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his long life (1872-1970) Bertrand Russell was one of a handful of social thinkers, let alone internationally recognized philosophers, whose views on contemporary issues won for him a devoted and supportive audience on the one hand and a host of vituperative critics on the other. Russell's revolutionary writings frequently placed him in the center of controversy with conservatives and all those who were unwilling to consider moral questions from a rational rather than an emotional stance. Al Seckel has compiled an exhaustive collection of Russell's very best and most thought-provoking essays on ethics, social morality, happiness, sex, adultery, marriage, and divorce. Often hidden in obscure journals, pamphlets, out-of-print periodicals, and hard-to-find books, the works assembled here comprise a comprehensive volume that is augmented by valuable section introductions and editor's comments. This volume also includes "Morality and Instinct," which is published here for the first time.

Download or read book Kant s Ethics and the Same Sex Marriage Debate An Introduction written by Christopher Arroyo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book defends the thesis that Kant’s normative ethics and his practical ethics of sex and marriage can be valuable resources for people engaged in the contemporary debate over same-sex marriage. It does so by first developing a reading of Kant’s normative ethics that explains the way in which Kant’s notions of human moral imperfection unsocial sociability inform his ethical thinking. The book then offers a systematic treatment of Kant’s views of sex and marriage, arguing that Kant’s views are more defensible than some of his critics have made them out to be. Drawing on Kant’s account of marriage and his conception of moral friendship, the book argues that Kant’s ethics can be used to develop a defense of same-sex marriage.

Download or read book Education and the Social Order written by Bertrand Russell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the disastrous failure of his one practical attempt to create a perfect school, Russell constantly strove to invent a system of education free from repression. Here Russell dissects the motives behind much educational theory and practice - and attacks the influence of chauvanism, snobbery and money. Energetically discussed and debated are discipline, natural ability, competition, class distinction, bureaucracy, finance, religion, sex education, state versus private schools, education in Russia, indoctrination, the home environment and many other topics. Described by reviewers as 'brilliant', 'provocative', 'sane', 'stimulating', 'practical', and 'original', this book contains the essence of Russell's thought on education and society.

Download or read book Matrimonio y moral written by Bertrand Russell and published by Catedra Ediciones. This book was released on 2001 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bertrand Russell escribio Matrimonio y moral en 1929. A pesar de los anos transcurridos, los presupuestos y fundamentos historicos que analiza, sobre los que se ha asentado la moral sexual occidental, resultan aun vigentes en su mayoria, y solo en algunos casos en los que el autor acude a ejemplos concretos podrian considerarse superados. En la caracterizacion de cualquier sociedad, antigua o moderna, existen dos elementos de primera importancia: el sistema economico y el sistema familiar. Para Russell no existe una supremacia de uno sobre otro y es indudable que el sistema economico tiene una gran influencia sobre la moral sexual.

Download or read book Bertrand Russell s Ethics written by Michael K. Potter and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2006-02-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bertrand Russell was not only one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century; he was also a humanitarian and activist who fought for many moral, social, and political causes. During his lifetime, the general public knew him for his activism and popular works, in which he tackled such diverse topics as sexual ethics, religion, war, and nuclear disarmament. Besides the great achievements in mathematical logic on which his reputation rests, Russell was a pioneer in moral philosophy, and his work in this area informed and guided his activism. Russell created one of the first versions of a meta-ethical theory known as emotivism (sometimes also called the 'boo-hooray' theory, later popularized by A.J. Ayer and C.L. Stevenson) which maintains that ethical statements cannot be true or false - they are simply expressions of emotional attitudes. That Russell could hold such a theory while being at the same time an ardent activist is one feat. That his version was superior to more popular versions of emotivism is another. Yet, despite the fact that Russell held on to some form of emotivism for most of his professional life, and despite the fact that the theory is present in some of his best-known books, it was virtually ignored until the late 1990s. Michael K. Potter's book brings an important new dimension to our understanding of Russell's life, his activism, and his contribution to moral philosophy.
