Book Description
Modern moral and political philosophy is in debt with natural law theory, both in its ancient and mediaeval elaborations. While the very notion of a natural law has proved highly controversial among 20th Century scholars, the last decades have witnessed a renewed interest in it. Indeed, the threats and challenges as result of multiculturalism, plural societies and global changes have generated a renewed attention to natural law theory. Clearly, it offers solid basis as possible framework to a better understanding of human goods without contradictions and partial bias. The purpose of the present volume is to provide an overview of the history of this concept (Cicero, St. Paul, Aquinas, Melanchthon, Montaigne, Descartes, Leibniz, Hume, Burke, Kant, MacIntyre, etc.) as well as a deep understanding of ongoing research, both in Europe and in America. Furthermore, the specificity of these studies will be of particular value to philosophers, law-philosophers, historians, anthropologists, sociologists and theologians, and those concerned on such issues as the relation between law and moral norm, law and practical reason, and the presence of the idea of natural law in several prominent thinkers. It includes a selected bibliography on natural law. The book also provides an excellent introduction to several of the major topics in natural law theory making it useful both as a reference text and as a sourcebook for academics alike. "Natural law is a rich, complex, and highly disputed term. Since its first appearances in the history of Western civilization, it has been used both to point to God as the source of the moral order and to assert that there is an objective order of justice in nature that men and their laws ought to respect. In modern times, natural law theory gave birth to what we usually call “human rights.” Unlike the meaning of the term, the importance of an ongoing debate on natural law and on the theories related to it is undisputable. This is why I welcome today this new collection of essays edited by Alejandro Néstor García Martínez, Mario Šilar and José M. Torralba. Natural Law: Historical, Systematic and Juridical Approaches includes a wide variety of studies, covering key authors and issues in natural law theory. Younger students will appreciate the clarity of the chapters, and more trained readers the detailed and accurate bibliographical references that each of them offers. The editors’s choice to go from a historical approach to contemporary theories, and then to theoretical and more practical issues is also commendable. Students in philosophy and in legal theory will greatly benefit from this book." —Fulvio Di Blasi, author of God and the Natural Law: A Rereading of Thomas Aquinas

Book Description
It would seem that modern humanity has unthroned the human spirit, undercutting the very foundation of the validity of truth, moral values and principles. There appears to be no attempt to discern what is beautiful and true: it is functional and pragmatic usefulness that seem to dominate human evaluations and transactions with other humans and, indeed, animals. Humanity is becoming detached from the `higher' aesthetic, moral and intellectual works of the human spirit and thus the life of the spirit is often situated on the other side of a gulf, opposed to science with its rationality. Culture is in danger of becoming reduced to science. In other words, the great metaphysical questions - those of telos, of sense - often are answered in terms of scientific conceptions. But these are at least incomplete, if not fragmentary, and in principle hypothetical, which still leaves the questions unanswered. But it is culture that is the manifestation of the human spirit, being the historical process of human self-interpretation-in-existence. All manifestations of the creative forge of the human being find a role in the fabric of culture, which involves progressively widening circles of the human community, demanding an integration and attunement with others in their changing conditions of life. This consideration of culture involves all areas of philosophical reflection: moral, aesthetic, metaphysical, epistemological, semiological, cognitive, and more.

Book Description
Persuasivo e humano para com a humanidade, este clássico da filosofia representa um dos mais significativos tratados de ética do século XIX. A Base da Moralidade oferece o exame mais completo de Schopenhauer de temas éticos tradicionais e articula uma forma descritiva de ética que contradiz as teorias prescritivas racionalmente baseadas. A partir de sua polêmica contra a ética do dever de Kant, Schopenhauer antecipa os críticos contemporâneos da filosofia moral. Argumentando que a compaixão forma a base da moralidade, ele esboça uma perspectiva sobre ética na qual paixão e desejo correspondem a diferentes personagens morais, comportamentos e visões de mundo. Em conclusão, Schopenhauer define sua metafísica da moral, empregando o idealismo transcendental de Kant para ilustrar tanto a interconectividade do ser quanto a afinidade de sua ética com o pensamento oriental. "Após considerações preliminares, em parte para mostrar a dificuldade do assunto, em parte para limpar o terreno (Parte I.), o tratado abre com uma crítica penetrante da Base Ética de Kant, do Princípio Principal de seu sistema e de suas formas derivadas. (Parte II, Capítulos I.-VI.) [4] A conclusão de Schopenhauer é que o Imperativo Categórico é uma teia muito habilmente tecida, mas na realidade nada mais que a velha base teológica disfarçada, sendo esta última o indispensável, embora invisível, prendedor de roupa para o primeiro; e que o tour de main de Kant de deduzir sua Teologia Moral da Ética é como inverter uma pirâmide. A teoria da Consciência é discutida a seguir (Capítulo VII). O elemento semi-sobrenatural que Kant introduziu sob a forma altamente dramática de um tribunal de justiça realizando uma sessão secreta no peito é examinado e eliminado; e Consciência é definida como o conhecimento que temos de nós mesmos por meio de nossos atos."

Book Description
O presente livro é o resultado das pesquisas realizadas em nível de mestrado e tem como objetivo mostrar como é possível interpretar a ligação, sistematicamente crucial, entre o fato da razão e o sentimento de respeito pela lei moral a partir da análise da figura do sentimento moral. Uma das ideias mais controversas entre os comentadores da ética kantiana é justamente saber que função pode desempenhar o sentimento moral, tendo em vista a pretensão de Kant de justificar um critério de avaliação moral baseado na ideia de validade intersubjetiva e universal. Como, então, pode a consciência moral ter influência na práxis e fazer com que o agente seja capaz de tomar interesse pelo agir moral, eis o tema desta investigação.

Book Description
Una excelente novela histórica del autor del celebérrimo El prisionero de Zenda. Tan sólo esa última obra juvenil (El prisionero de Zenda) se reimprime continuamente en España, estando olvidadas otras suyas de más enjundia, como este El espejo del rey, que el novelista tenía por la mejor suya. Anthony Hope Nació el 9 de febrero de 1863 en Londres. Estudió en la Universidad de Cambridge y ejerció la abogacía de 1887 a 1894. Su primera obra fue A Man of Mark (1890). Dedicó toda su vida a la actividad de escritor, que se vio coronada por un gran éxito y le valió, entre otros honores, la concesión del título nobiliario de Sir en 1918. Pronto se hizo famoso con la publicación, en 1894, de El prisionero de Zenda, que gozó de un inmenso favor popular. Y pocas semanas después de la publicación de tal obra, Anthony Hope logró renovar su extraordinario éxito con The Dolly Dialogues Algunas de sus obras fueron llevadas al cine. Falleció en 1933.
