O tym produkcie

Product Information

In this book, John Kekes discusses the hard questions we all must face in the course of our lives. How should we respond to evil? Do we owe what our country asks of us? Does it make us better to be ashamed of what we have done? Is it always good to be true to who we are? Do good intentions justify bad actions? John Kekes argues that such questions are hard because reasonable answers to them often conflict. He shows how their conflicts can be resolved and how we can best cope with these problems.

Reviews
This extraordinary book of practical philosophy is carefully organized, clearly written, and filled with illuminating discussions of compelling examples. Kekes presses gently, relentlessly, and provocatively for the irreducible plurality of conflicting values within our lives, and the absence of any absolute value, abstract moral principle, or controlling moral commitment that resolves those conflicts in hard cases. His remedy for this is equally clear, and equallyprovocative., "Hard Questions is a literate and compelling example of the sort of adventure Kekes is recommending philosophers and the rest of us to undertake." -- Philosophy"This extraordinary book of practical philosophy is carefully organized, clearly written, and filled with illuminating discussions of compelling examples. Kekes presses gently, relentlessly, and provocatively for the irreducible plurality of conflicting values within our lives, and the absence of any absolute value, abstract moral principle, or controlling moral commitment that resolves those conflicts in hard cases. His remedy for this is equally clear, andequally provocative."--Lawrence C. Becker, Kenan Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, College of William and Mary, and author of Habilitation, Health, and Agency: A Framework for Basic Justice"This book poses questions of ethics, broadly-construed, but they involve metaphysics (for example, duties to God, questions about the origins of evil, whether the cosmos is just) and epistemology. John Kekes's focus is on reasons for different answers to each question. He writes with such sympathy and wisdom that readers can see both sides, with two opposing answers to each question often as good for the person or group that holds them. This is awell-written and smart book, and the reader will know herself in the hands of a learned and thoughtful guide."--Owen Flanagan, James B.
