Ethics after Wittgenstein - Contemplation and Critique (Hardcover): Richard Amesbury, Hartmut Von Sass Ethics after Wittgenstein - Contemplation and Critique (Hardcover)
Richard Amesbury, Hartmut Von Sass
R3,144 Discovery Miles 31 440 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

What does it mean for ethics to say, as Wittgenstein did, that philosophy "leaves everything as it is"? Though clearly absorbed with ethical questions throughout his life and work, Wittgenstein's remarks about the subject do not easily lend themselves to summation or theorizing. Although many moral philosophers cite the influence or inspiration of Wittgenstein, there is little agreement about precisely what it means to do ethics in the light of Wittgenstein. Ethics after Wittgenstein brings together an international cohort of leading scholars in the field to address this problem. The chapters advance a conception of philosophical ethics characterized by an attention to detail, meaning and importance which itself makes ethical demands on its practitioners. Working in conversation with literature and film, engaging deeply with anthropology and critical theory, and addressing contemporary problems from racialized sexual violence against women to the Islamic State, these contributors reclaim Wittgenstein's legacy as an indispensable resource for contemporary ethics.

Philosophy of Religion after "Religion" (Paperback): Michael Ch Rodgers, Richard Amesbury Philosophy of Religion after "Religion" (Paperback)
Michael Ch Rodgers, Richard Amesbury
R2,181 Discovery Miles 21 810 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Long framed in terms of Christian and secularist concerns, the field of philosophy of religion has recently been attempting to expand to include a wider, more diverse variety of religious phenomena. At the same time, a growing body of literature within religious studies has called attention to the historical genealogy and limitations of the category of "religion." If "religion" is itself a modern, secular extrapolation from Christian understandings, disseminated globally through colonial encounter, does the apparently more capacious approach to philosophy of religion simply reproduce the deficiencies of the old under the guise of a false universal? The present volumeseeks to move the field in the direction of a reflexive turn, toward an examination of the philosophical implications of the concept of "religion."

Faith and Human Rights - Christianity and the Global Struggle for Human Dignity (Paperback): Richard Amesbury Faith and Human Rights - Christianity and the Global Struggle for Human Dignity (Paperback)
Richard Amesbury; Translated by George M. Newlands
R424 Discovery Miles 4 240 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The UN's 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights stands as a highpoint of twentieth-century moral deliberation, yet sixty years later human rights are widely denied, evaded, or ignored around the world. Where are religious persons in this situation? Here a philosopher and a theologian address the issues with authority, clarity, and genuine passion in a way that does not spare religion or even religious people, who have been among the most egregious violators of human rights in the world. Faith and Human Rights argues that the idea of human rights is not exclusively religious, but that its realization in practice requires urgent action on the part of people of all faiths ??? and of no faith. The authors contend that while faith has much of value to contribute here, the world's religions will require vigilant reappraisal if they are to function as genuine partners in the global struggle for human dignity. Acknowledging the ambiguous moral legacy of their own tradition, Christianity, the authors draw on Christological themes to draft blueprints for a culturally sensitive "theology of human rights."

"Ehre" gilt vielen als ein mit der Moderne unverträglicher Anachronismus. Begreift man jedoch "Ehre" als historisch variables Anerkennungsverhältnis, so lässt sich in spätmodernen Gesellschaften nicht nur das Fortleben traditioneller Ehrformen beobachten. Vielmehr treten auch Transformationsgestalten der Ehre in den Blick, in denen diese entweder mit Prestige und Status oder aber mit der Idee einer allgemeinen menschlichen Würde verbunden wird. Und gerade im letzteren Fall könnte "Ehre" einen Beitrag dazu leisten, demokratische Prinzipien nicht nur zu postulieren, sondern zu motivieren und weiterzuentwickeln. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes unternehmen eine kritische Untersuchung von Begriff und Phänomenen von "Ehre", die deren mögliche Gegenwartsrelevanz im Blick behält. Sie bedienen sich dabei historischer, philosophischer, ethischer und theologischer Zugänge und interkultureller Konkretionen.
