Get it now. ___________________________________________________________________________ Praise for BASE NATURE: 'This is the third book in a series, that can be read standalone, but all three are suspenseful and enjoyable. The characters are fully developed and feel like a person who lives next door. It is exciting to travel with them through this interesting journey!’ ‘I love this series, cannot wait for #4. The plots hold my interest and the characters are great. The interaction between Bill and Davie really is the heart of all the books. Very suspenseful, loved it!’ ‘Really good Aussie writing.’ ‘As with Murdoch’s previous adventure in A Class Act, the writing and dialogue here is first rate and the mystery surrounding Patterson’s disappearance is played out expertly over the length of the book; like the author is laying down a trail of breadcrumbs. Don’t eat them too quickly though as there is plenty to be savoured here.’ ___________________________________________________________________________ ** THIS IS NOT THE AUSTRALIA YOU’VE SEEN ADVERTISED ** BASE NATURE is the third book in the Bill Murdoch Mystery series.

Download or read book Aristotle s Ethics written by Aristotle and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-24 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristotle's moral philosophy is a pillar of Western ethical thought. It bequeathed to the world an emphasis on virtues and vices, happiness as well-being or a life well lived, and rationally motivated action as a mean between extremes. Its influence was felt well beyond antiquity into the Middle Ages, particularly through the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. In the past century, with the rise of virtue theory in moral philosophy, Aristotle’s ethics has been revived as a source of insight and interest. While most attention has traditionally focused on Aristotle’s famous Nicomachean Ethics, there are several other works written by or attributed to Aristotle that illuminate his ethics: the Eudemian Ethics, the Magna Moralia, and Virtues and Vices. This book brings together all four of these important texts, in thoroughly revised versions of the translations found in the authoritative complete works universally recognized as the standard English edition. Edited and introduced by two of the world’s leading scholars of ancient philosophy, this is an essential volume for anyone interested in the ethical thought of one of the most important philosophers in the Western tradition.

Download or read book The Great Ethics of Aristotle written by Peter L. P. Simpson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this follow up to The Eudemian Ethics of Aristotle, Peter L. P. Simpson centres his attention on the basics of Aristotelian moral doctrine as found in the Great Ethics: the definition of happiness, the nature and kind of the virtues, pleasure, and friendship. This work's authenticity is disputed, but Simpson argues that all the evidence favours it. Unlike the Nicomachean and Eudemian Ethics, Aristotle wrote the Great Ethics for a popular audience. It gives us insight less into Aristotle the theoretician than into Aristotle the pedagogue. For this reason, the Great Ethics has distinct advantages as an introduction to Aristotelian ethical thinking: it is simpler and clearer in its argumentation, matters such as the intellectual virtues are made suitably secondary to the practical focus, the moral virtues come through with a pleasing directness, and the work's syllogistic formalism gives it a transparency and accessibility that the other Ethics typically lack. Arius' Epitome, which relies heavily on this work, helps confirm its value and authenticity. Because the Great Ethics is generally neglected by scholars, less has been done to clear up its obscurities or to expose its structure. But to ignore it is to lose another and more instructive way of approaching and appreciating Aristotle's teaching. The translation is prefaced by an analytic outline of the whole, and the several sections of it are prefaced by brief summaries. The commentary supplies fuller descriptions and analyses, sorting out puzzles, removing misunderstandings, and resolving doubts of meaning and intention. This book is a fresh rendition of the work of the preeminent philosopher of all time.

Download or read book The Nature of Life and Its Potential to Survive written by David S. Stevenson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the persistence of life and how difficult it would be to annihilate life, especially a species as successful as humanity. The idea that life in general is fragile is challenged by the hardiness of microbes, which shows that astrobiology on exoplanets and other satellites must be robust and plentiful. Microbes have adapted to virtually every niche on the planet, from the deep, hot biosphere, to the frigid heights of the upper troposphere. Life, it seems, is almost indestructible. The chapters in this work examine the various scenarios that might lead to the extermination of life, and why they will almost always fail. Life's highly adaptive nature ensures that it will cling on no matter how difficult the circumstances. Scientists are increasingly probing and questioning life's true limits in, on and above the Earth, and how these limits could be pushed elsewhere in the universe. This investigation puts life in its true astronomical context, with the reader taken on a journey to illustrate life's potential and perseverance.
