Wherever there’s a rule, there is someone with the power to apply or ignore it—or add to it, in the interest of justice. From enforcing chores to issuing life sentences, decision-makers deliver flawed and sometimes arbitrary outcomes. But is their use of discretion good or bad overall? As a society, should we seek to minimize or maximize discretion, with all its potential for bias and other kinds of human error? Reframing our understanding of justice and ethics, philosopher Barry Lam argues that while use of discretion can never be perfect, removing it has even more problematic effects.

When we think about whether we are good people leading a good life, we usually think about actions. Bad people do bad things that hurt others. Good people do good things that help others, and they avoid doing bad things. Simple. But while our actions certainly have consequences, today our inactions have far greater and far graver consequences. Bad actions can result in the suffering of a few or several dozen others; inaction can result in the extreme misery of thousands.

"The communists do not preach morality at all"; this line from The Communist Manifesto might seem to settle the question of whether Marxism has anything to offer moral philosophy. Yet, Marx issued both trenchant critiques of "bourgeois" morality and thundering condemnations of capitalism's "vampire-like" destructiveness. He decried commodity-exchange for corroding our ability to value one another for who we are, not how much our lives could be traded away for.

Pleasure feels amazing! Anxiety, however, does not. The Ancient Greek Philosopher Epicurus rolled these two strikingly intuitive claims into a simple formula for happiness and well-being—pursue pleasure without causing yourself anxiety. But wait, is that even possible? Can humans achieve lasting pleasure without suffering anxiety about failure and loss? Epicurus thinks we can, at least once we learn to pursue pleasure thoughtfully.

The Stoic philosopher Musonius Rufus was one of the most influential teachers of his era, imperial Rome, and his message still resonates with startling clarity today. Alongside Stoics like Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, he emphasized ethics in action, displayed in all aspects of life. Merely learning philosophical doctrine and listening to lectures, they believed, will not do one any good unless one manages to interiorize the teachings and apply them to daily life.

Story
By the end of the 20th century there had been a veritable deluge of philosophical essays and books about children’s rights, adultery, family violence, the ethics of divorce, the limits of state intervention in the family, gay marriage, filial duties, and the right to have and raise children. There is now a substantial body of writing on these and other related topics for interested readers and scholars. While sorting through the past 45 years of my own research and writing about family law and family ethics, I discovered that most of it fits into one of four thematic areas: children’s ...

Moral relationships saturate the living world, and the line between the human and nonhuman is blurrier than we might think. Animals, Robots, Gods provides a bold new vision of ethics defined less by the individual mind or society and more by our interactions with those around us, whether they are the pets we keep, the gods we believe in, or the machines we endow with life.

"Dass ich (...) vom "deutschen Wesen" zu fabeln begann (...) heute ist es mir ein unmögliches Buch" - so Nietzsche in seinem "Versuch einer Selbstkritik", dem der "Geburt der Tragödie" 14 Jahre später angefügten Vorwort aus dem Jahr 1886. Und tatsächlich birgt dieses Buch schwer zu ertragende Abschnitte, die sich, als Huldigung an die großen sächsischen Antiromanisten und Antisemiten Martin Luther und Richard Wagner, wie ein Hinweis auf den späteren Zusammenbruch der Menschlichkeit in Deutschland lesen.

"Hört mich! Denn ich bin der und der! Verwechselt mich vor allem nicht!"(Friedrich Nietzsche: Ecce Homo)Erst für spätere Generationen hat Nietzsche eine Offenheit, ein wirkliches Interesse und Verständnis erwartet: "Wie dürfte ich mich mit denen verwechseln, für welche heute schon Ohren wachsen", schrieb er und wir fragen: Ist es nun an der Zeit für ein solches Verstehen und bietet das Medium Hörbuch womöglich den Königsweg für das "Wachsen der Ohren", um das Denken Nietzsches mit all seinen fruchtbaren Widersprüchen für das Leben zu gewinnen?

Moral rules are comforting—until they fail you. You were told to always tell the truth. Never steal. Treat everyone the same. But real life doesn’t play by those rules. You’ve seen it: the lie that saves a friendship. The theft that feeds a starving child. The promise that’s better broken. These aren't exceptions. They're reminders that morality is messier than we admit—and far more interesting. This isn’t a book about what to think. It’s a book about how to see.

On Liberty is a philosophical essay by the English philosopher John Stuart Mill. Published in 1859, it applies Mill's ethical system of utilitarianism to society and state. Mill suggests standards for the relationship between authority and liberty. He emphasizes the importance of individuality, which he considers prerequisite to the higher pleasures—the summum bonum of utilitarianism. Furthermore, Mill asserts that democratic ideals may result in the tyranny of the majority.

Described by Jeffrey Masson as "the single best introduction to animal rights ever written, Tom Regan's Empty Cages stands as an essential guide to the ongoing animal rights debate. In a style at once simple and elegant, Regan dispels the negative image of animal rights advocates as portrayed by the mass media, unmasks the fraudulent rhetoric of "humane treatment" favored by animal exploiters in both familiar and less well-documented contexts, and explains why existing laws function to legitimize institutional cruelty.

Сборник включает избранные труды по этике, в которых автор рассматривает проблемы происхождения и исторического развития нравственности, дает оценки конкретных событий, личностей, социальных явлений. Гуманистическая ценность его идей заключается в обращении к сознанию человека и этическим ценностям как к естественной духовной силе, способной объединять поколения. Особое место занимают размышления об анархии, которые Кропоткин применяет не только в отношении политики, но и в качестве методологического ключа к пониманию сути общественного бытия.

Story
Книга современного философа, изучающего смысловые структуры действительности, доктора философии и профессора НИУ ВШЭ Георгия Чернавина посвящена феномену "подобия совести": совести ложной и/или заблуждающейся. Автор предлагает концепцию "подобия совести" – паразитарной формы внутреннего голоса, подпитывающего невротическое чувство вины и нашептывающего требования выморочного долга. Тема раскрыта на материале классической русской литературы (Достоевский, Толстой, Шкловский и др.), а также с опорой на средневековые типологии совести и разработки этой темы у Гуссерля, Хайдеггера, Сартра, Колнаи.
