Vividly written, The Infidel and the Professor is a compelling account of a great friendship of two towering Enlightenment thinkers that had great consequences for modern thought. David Hume is widely regarded as the most important philosopher ever to write in English, but during his lifetime, he was attacked as "the Great Infidel" for his skeptical religious views and deemed unfit to teach the young. In contrast, Adam Smith was a revered professor of moral philosophy and is now often hailed as the founding father of capitalism.

When does liberty matter? It is often thought that personal liberty is always valuable and that it has a unique intrinsic value. In The Limits of Liberty, philosopher Sarah Conly argues that it is much less valuable than traditionally believed. Conly posits that liberties that bring good things have value, but liberties that bring bad consequences have no value. This means that in many cases where liberty has been valued, we are mistaken. Restrictions on certain liberties are more acceptable than commonly thought.

Ecce Homo is Nietzsche's compelling autobiography, written in 1888, just weeks before he succumbed to madness. Nietzsche's last great work, a fascinating and bizarre text, traces the development of his own philosophy and the thinkers who influenced him along the way.

Expanding on his ideas from Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche's radical polemic Beyond Good and Evil undermines the assumptions of traditional morality and encourages us to think more critically about the world in which we live.

In this daring and insightful work, Nietzsche lays bare the hypocrisies at the foundations of our ideas of morality. Considering ideas of good and evil, guilt and conscience, and law and violence along the way, On the Genealogy of Morals takes the listener on a journey through the history of value systems in three masterful essays.

What do you do when your life has fallen apart? Fifteen hundred years ago, a Roman nobleman named Boethius asked this question as he was sitting in a prison cell waiting to die, accused—probably unjustly—of treason. Boethius had been a rich and powerful man with all a person could want in life, but now he had lost everything. Shaken, he wondered how such terrible misfortune could have happened to him and why life was so unfair.

In Do Not Go Gentle, acclaimed writer and philosopher Kathleen Stock tackles one of the great debates of our time: should we set up a system of assisted death? Whether you have a terminal illness, are in chronic pain, or are disabled, being able to ask your doctor to kill you fundamentally changes society's attitude towards the vulnerable - and in a sinister direction. Life is complex. For some individuals, an assisted death might be the right choice.

Charles Spinosa, Matthew Hancocks, and Haridimos Tsoukas tell us that today's business leaders are the misunderstood moral artists of our time. When these leaders follow their instincts, they create morally distinctive organizations that shift moral orders in their industries and communities. Anita Roddick did that with The Body Shop where she created an organization devoted to fun, compassion, and drawing on women's traditional care for their bodies.

ବାହାରର ଧନ ନୁହେଁ, ଭିତରର ଧନ ପାଇବା ପାଇଁ ଧ୍ୟାନ ହିଁ ଦରକାର! ଧନ ପାଇଁ ଗୋଟିଏ ପରେ ଗୋଟିଏ ନରହତ୍ୟା କରୁକରୁ ଧ୍ୟାନସ୍ଥ ହୋଇଥିଲେ...

Hannah Arendt geht in dieser Vorlesung der Frage nach, wie - nach dem beispiellosen Zusammenbruch und Versagen von Moral im Sinne von Tugend und Sitte im Nationalsozialismus - eine Ethik oder gar Natur des Guten begründbar ist. Das Gute bzw. das Bedürfnis, Gutes zu tun, erscheint hingegen als die ursprünglichere Kraft, als naturgegebene Energie, als genuiner Instinkt.

He wondered how best to cultivate qualities that make us better individuals within a society. Plato parlays this chaos into a recipe for living a good life, the building blocks of which are outlined in this book. Each of Plato's works is discussed, and important parallels to modern life are made with lessons you can draw from.

In the wake of two foiled assassination attempts while Donald Trump was campaigning for President, many of his supporters claimed Trump's survival was an act of Divine intervention, and a sign that Trump was favored by God. In his victory speech, Trump alluded to this. But his survival prompts other questions: Why did God spare Trump, but not the retiree sitting behind him? Why couldn't God have spared everyone that day? And if God is truly omnipotent, why do so many children die in gun violence every year?
