Detalles de producto
- Writing with wit and elegance, Simon Blackburn tackles the basic questions of ethics in this lively book, highlighting the complications and troubling issues that spring from the very simple question of how we ought to live. Blackburn dissects the many common reasons for why we are skeptical about ethics. Drawing on examples from history, politics, religion and everyday personal experience, he shows how cynicism and self-consciousness can paralyze us into considering ethics a hopeless pursuit. He assures us that ethics is neither futile nor irrelevant, but an intimate part of the most important issues of living-of birth, death, happiness, desire, freedom, pleasure, and justice. Indeed, from moral dilemmas about abortion and euthanasia, to our obsession with personal rights, to our longing for a sense of meaning in life, our everyday struggles are rife with ethical issues. Blackburn distills the arguments of Hume, Kant and Aristotle down to their essences, to underscore the timeless relevance of our voice of conscience, the pitfalls of complacency, and our concerns about truth, knowledge and human progress.Blackburn's rare combination of depth, rigor, and sparkling prose, along with his distinguished ranking among contemporary philosophers, mark Being Good as an important statement on our current disenchantment with ethics. It challenges us to take a more thoughtful reading of our ethical climate and to ponder more carefully our own standards of behavior.

Revisión editorial
Being Good: A Short Introduction To Ethics provides a compact but engaging exploration of ethical concepts. Published by Oxford University Press, this illustrated edition spans 172 pages and features a range of philosophical ideas relevant today. Reviews highlight the book's accessibility, making it suitable for younger readers or those new to philosophy, although some readers expressed concerns about the author's biases and presentation style. The thoughtful separation of content into sections covering threats, ideas, and foundational ethics offers a structured approach, yet critics note its brevity may leave some topics underexplored. Overall, it serves as a decent entry point into ethical discussions, albeit with limitations.
