Plato'S Phaedo - A Guide

by D.T.J. Bailey

25,39€ + 10% CARD

 D.T.J. Bailey here offers a student-friendly guide to Plato's dialogue Phaedo, as part of the Oxford Guides to Philosophy series. In the process of explaining the text, Bailey provides a picture of Plato's metaphysics as revealed by the four major arguments it contains. Offering a concise discussion of Platonic forms--the abstract objects Plato famously proposed--Bailey argues that Plato was thinking carefully about names and naming throughout the construction of the Phaedo. Readers of the Symposium and the Republic, those intrigued by the figure of Socrates, and those who believe in the immortality of the Soul will value Bailey's expert explanation of the thematic diversity contained in the Phaedo.

Nietzsche'S On The Genealogy Of Morality - A Guide

by Rex Welshon

19,86€ + 10% CARD

 On the Genealogy of Morality is one of Nietzsche''s greatest works. Taking recent scholarship on board and using it to inform its analysis of this challenging text, Rex Welshon''s Guide introduces readers of all levels to the major arguments found in the Genealogy. Welshon also shows how arguments Nietzsche develops elsewhere clarify and buttress what he says in the Genealogy.The guide begins by introducing the reader to Nietzsche''s life, identifying some of his major intellectual influences, and tracking his influence on subsequent philosophers, artists, literary critics, social and political thinkers, and moral psychologists. Then, in four longer chapters, the Genealogy''s Preface and three essays are investigated in detail. Each chapter is divided into two parts, the first dedicated to section-by-section examinations of Nietzsche''s claims and arguments as they unfold in the book, the second to detailed analyses of the most important, intricate, and perplexing of those arguments. This structure permits readers to remain oriented through the Genealogy''s unusual development and unique style. The guide then unpacks Nietzsche''s arguments in greater detail, steering readers through arguments that sometimes lie behind the Genealogy''s surface text and showing how recent scholarship has improved our understanding of some of its more cryptic claims. Throughout, the guide strives to remain accessible and avoid technical jargon and to keep Nietzsche''s fascinating, if disturbing, insights into moral evaluation, moral history, and moral psychology front and center. Having read the guide, readers will be prepared to appreciate the Genealogy''s many merits and identify some of its gaps.

Kant'S Doctrine Of Virtue

by Mark Timmons

23,84€ + 10% CARD

 Immanuel Kant''s final publication in ethics was The Doctrine of Virtue, Part II of the 1797 The Metaphysics of Morals. This text presents Kant''s normative ethical theory. This guide is meant to be read alongside Kant''s text, combining accessible explanations and novel interpretations of this difficult text. It is the first book in English devoted to The Doctrine of Virtue, one of Kant''s most significant works. Timmons divides the guide into five parts. Part I reviews Kant''s life, the history and significance of The Doctrine of Virtue, and situates Kant''s ethics within his general metaphysical and epistemological views. Part II is devoted to the General Introduction to The Metaphysics of Morals, which is essential for understanding Kant''s ethics. Part III and Part IV turn to The Doctrine of Virtue itself, exploring Kant''s defense of a system of duties and corresponding virtues. Part V examines Kant''s conception of moral education, the practice of virtue, and the conclusion to the book where Kant explains why the discipline of ethics does not include religion as a doctrine of duties to God. Timmons concludes the book highlighting key aspects of The Doctrine of Virtue, situating Kant''s ethical theory in relation to other normative ethical theories. This guide is a vital resource for both students and scholars interested in ethics and the history of philosophy.
