A Secular Age

2018 || Paperback || Charles Taylor || Harvard University Press

Ethics - Twelve Lectures on the Philosophy of Morality

Twelve Lectures on the Philosophy of Morality

2009 || Paperback || David Wiggins || Harvard University Press

Almost everyone has wondered at some time or another why morality requires what it appears to require and how, if at all, it speaks to us. In "Ethics: Twelve Lectures on the Philosophy of Morality, " David Wiggins surveys the answers most commonly proposed for such questions-gathering insights from Hume, Kant, the utilitarians and the post-utilitaritarian thinkers of the twentieth century.

Income inequality, displaced and imprisoned populations, destruction of land and water: today’s dislocations cannot be understood in the usual terms of poverty and injustice, Saskia Sassen argues. They are more accurately understood as expulsions—from professional livelihood, from living space, from the very biosphere that makes life possible.
