Sommario/riassunto

Adam Smiths Theorie der ethischen Gefühle (1759) erfährt seit einigen Jahren zunehmende Beachtung. Dafür gibt es gute Gründe. Smith beschäftigt sich nicht nur mit der Frage nach vernünftigen Gründen für moralisches Handeln, sondern auch und vor allem mit moralischen Gefühlen und einer entsprechenden moralischen Erziehung. Seine Theorie bietet daher eine viel versprechende Alternative zu den in vergangenen Debatten oft zitierten Theorien von David Hume und Immanuel Kant. Ausgehend von der Moralphilosophie des vornehmlich als Nationalökonom bekannten Adam Smith lässt sich zudem ein perspektivenreicher Beitrag zu aktuellen Debatten (Liberalismus, Wirtschaftsethik) entwickeln. Der Band mit Beiträgen namhafter Moralphilosophen und Adam-Smith-Forscher dokumentiert die vielfältigen Perspektiven, aus denen die Moralphilosophie von Adam Smith heute besonderes Interesse verdient.

For several years now, Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) has been attracting increasing attention. Smith is concerned not only with the question of rational grounds for moral action, but also and above all with moral feelings and a corresponding moral education. Thus his theory offers a promising alternative to the theories of David Hume and Immanuel Kant, which have often been cited in past debates. Working from the moral philosophy of Adam Smith, who is known principally as a political economist, it is possible to develop a many-facetted contribution to present-day debates (liberalism, business ethics). This volume, with papers by renowned moral philosophers and Adam Smith scholars, documents the various perspectives from which Adam Smith's moral philosophy is of particular interest today.

Sommario/riassunto

Phillips offers an incisive, subtle, and compelling analysis of the cinematic present that also poses difficult questions for the political present. A Cinema of Hopelessness has the courage to deeply examine contemporary popular cinema in a political context. While pointing to a generalized affective atmosphere of hopelessness, this book does not succumb to negativity. On the contrary, out of hopelessness, Phillips glimpses the contours of hope, a way out, a future that contemporary cinema gives us the possibility of imagining. - Dr Richard Rushton, Lancaster University This book explores the circulation of anger and hostility in contemporary American culture with particular attention to



the fantasy of refusal, a dream of rejecting all the structures of the contemporary political and economic system. Framing the question of public sentiment through the lens of rhetorical studies, this book traces the circulation of symbols that craft public feelings in contemporary popular cinema. Analyzing popular twenty-first century films as invitations to a particular way of feeling, the book delves into the way popular sentiments are circulated and intensified. The book examines dystopian films (The Purge, The Cabin in the Woods), science fiction (Snowpiercer), and superhero narratives (the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Joker). Across these varied films, an affective economy that emphasizes grief, betrayal, refusal, and an underlying rage at the seeming hopelessness of contemporary culture is uncovered. These examinations are framed in terms of ongoing political protests ranging from Occupy Wall Street, the Tea Party, Black Lives Matter, and the 6th January 2021 invasion of the US Capitol Building. Kendall R. Phillips is Professor of Communication and Rhetorical Studies at Syracuse University, USA. His publications include Projected Fears: Horror Films and American Culture (2005), Dark Directions: Romero, Craven, Carpenter and the Modern Horror Film (2012) and A Place of Darkness: The Rhetoric of Horror in Early American Cinema (2018).
