Product Description
Review
“His writing is clear and lively. He avoids unnecessary technicalities. His ideas are grounded in vivid examples.” (Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, May 2009)
“Smilansky offers a series carefully structured to generate moral paradoxes…readers who relish intellectual puzzles will no doubt appreciate this work…” (Choice)
"Saul Smilansky′s examples in Ten Moral Paradoxes are freshly minted, and his discussion rises above the familiar dialectic." (Times Literary Supplement)
Product Description
Presenting ten diverse and original moral paradoxes, this cutting edge work of philosophical ethics makes a focused, concrete case for the centrality of paradoxes within morality.
- Explores what these paradoxes can teach us about morality and the human condition
- Considers a broad range of subjects, from familiar topics to rarely posed questions, among them "Fortunate Misfortune", "Beneficial Retirement" and "Preferring Not To Have Been Born"
- Asks whether the existence of moral paradox is a good or a bad thing
- Presents analytic moral philosophy in a provocative, engaging and entertaining way; posing new questions, proposing possible solutions, and challenging the reader to wrestle with the paradoxes themselves
