Fractured Goodness: Aristotle's Response to Plato's Form of the Good - Hardcover

$179.55

by Christopher Shields (Author)Aristotle offers a searing rejection of Plato's commitment to a Form of the Good; core among his complaints is that goodness is not univocal, that is, that there is no single essence-specifying account of goodness covering all the many varieties of goodness there are. Aristotle's anti-Platonic arguments have been variously received: many of his readers regard them as wholly successful while many others maintain they are abject failures. This volume reconstructs ...

Honesty: The Philosophy and Psychology of a Neglected Virtue - Paperback

Ignorance: A Philosophical Study - Hardcover

$179.55

by Rik Peels (Author)Ignorance: A Philosophical Study provides an in-depth exploration of ignorance in its many dimensions.

by Stephen Darwall (Author)Philosophers don't often write about the heart. At least, analytical philosophers don't. Why is this? Philosophers are said to live life "in their heads" rather than "from their hearts." But even if that is so, why don't they think and write about the heart? Moreover, it can hardly have escaped philosophers' attention that matters of the heart are central to what we human beings value most about our lives, including our lives with animals. Philosophers write a lot ...
