Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Youre probably never going to be a saint. Even so, lets face it: you could be a better person. We all could. But what does that mean for you? In a world full of suffering and deprivation, its easy to despairand its also easy to judge ourselves for not doing more. Even if we gave away everything we own and devoted ourselves to good works, it wouldnt solve all the worlds problems. It would make them better, though. So is that what we have to do? Is anything less a moral failure? Can we lead a fundamentally decent life without taking such drastic steps? Todd May has answers. Hes not the sort of philosopher who tells us we have to be model citizens who display perfect ethics in every decision we make. Hes realistic: he understands that living up to ideals is a constant struggle. In A Decent Life, May leads readers through the traditional philosophical bases of a number of arguments about what ethics asks of us, then he develops a more reasonable and achievable way of thinking about them, one that shows us how we can use philosophical insights to participate in the complicated world around us. He explores how we should approach the many relationships in our liveswith friends, family, animals, people in needthrough the use of a more forgiving, if no less fundamentally serious, moral compass. With humor, insight, and a lively and accessible style, May opens a discussion about how we can, realistically, lead the good life that we aspire to. A philosophy of goodness that leaves it all but unattainable is ultimately self-defeating. Instead, Todd May stands at the forefront of a new wave of philosophy that sensibly reframes our morals and redefines what it means to live a decent life.
