Natural Law and Modern Moral Philosophy, Vol. 18, Pt. 1: Social Philosophy and Policy

1 review

Cambridge University Press, 2001

Darwinian natural right?
This interesting collection of essays contains "Thomistic Natural Law as Darwinian Natural Right" which is a provocative attempt to connect the natural law tradition to Darwinism. It is an engaging thesis and one of the few by Darwinists that is even worth looking at (statement by a Darwin critic). The problem here is that all the ironies of 'legitimation' lurk in the assumptions about Darwinian ...

Lately someone told me a story about a friend who was like an angel to them and only appeared in their life when they needed her. She also ...

Cambridge University Press, 2003

Twelve philosophers, historians, and political philosophers assess aspects of socialism in the context of its recent reversals.

Problems of Market Liberalism: Volume 15, Social Philosophy and Policy, Part 2 (Social Philosophy and Policy)

1 review

Cambridge University Press, 1998

Cutting-edge analysis of various public policy issues
Problems of Market Liberalism first appeared as the summer 1998 issue of the journal Social Philosophy and Policy. It is good that such valuable issues are made available to the public, for the quality of this journal over its comparatively short life span has been high, and the present volume is certainly no exception. Overall, the volume stands on the cutting edge in its combination of ...

Liberalism: Old and New: Volume 24, Part 1 (Social Philosophy and Policy)

Cambridge University Press, 2007

In this collection, thirteen prominent philosophers and political scientists address the nature of liberalism, its origins, and its meaning and proper interpretation. Some essays examine the writings of liberalism's earliest defenders or the influence of classical liberalism on the American founders. Some focus on the Progressive movement and the rise of the administrative state, while others defend particular conceptions of liberalism or ...

Moral Knowledge: Volume 18, Part 2 (Social Philosophy and Policy)

Cambridge University Press, 2001

The essays in this volume address some of the most enduring questions involved in the search for moral knowledge. Can morality be founded upon facts about human nature, social agreement, volition, subjective preference, a priori reasoning, intuition, or some other basis? Is morality knowable in any objective sense that would make it universal and, therefore, binding on humans in all times, places, and circumstances? Or, rather, is morality ...

Altruism: Volume 10, Part 1 (Social Philosophy and Policy)
Ellen Frankel Paul, Jr, Fred D. Miller, ...

Cambridge University Press, 1993

Confronting crucial and difficult issues, the ten authors whose essays appear in this volume offer fresh perspectives on the nature and value of altruism. This collection of essays on moral philosophy deal with the balance to be struck between egoism and altruism--that is, between pursuing one's own interests and serving the interest of others--and with related issues. Contributions examine the relationship between altruism and rationality; ...

Autonomy: Volume 20, Part 2 (Social Philosophy and Policy)

Cambridge University Press, 2003

As a central concept in moral and political philosophy, "autonomy" is generally understood as some form of self-governance or self-direction. Certain Stoics, modern philosophers such as Spinoza, and, most importantly, Immanuel Kant, are among the great philosophers who have offered important insights on the concept. Some theorists analyze autonomy as it relates to the self being moved by its higher-order desires. Others argue that it must be ...

Self-Interest: Volume 14, Part 1 (Social Philosophy and Policy)

Cambridge University Press, 1997

These essays examine the nature of self-interest and the relationship between rationality and morality. Some challenge the assumption that morality is exclusively concerned with the pursuit of the good of others, arguing that self-interest can be a legitimate moral motive. Some ask whether it is possible to resolve the apparent conflict between self-interest and morality by appealing to some third, overarching standard, or by showing that ...

Objectivism, Subjectivism, and Relativism in Ethics: Volume 25, Part 1 (Social Philosophy and Policy)

Cambridge University Press, 2008

Do we desire things because they are good, or are they good because we desire them? Objectivists answer that we desire things because they are good; subjectivists answer that things are good because we desire them. Further, does it make sense to account for moral disagreement by claiming, as the moral relativist does, that something might be good for one person but not for another? Some essays in this book consider whether objective moral ...
