Seeking to expand the scope of contemporary moral and political philosophy, Raymond Geuss here presents essays bound by a shared skepticism about a particular way of thinking about what is important in human life--a way of thinking that, in his view, is characteristic of contemporary Western societies and isolates three broad categories of things as important: subjective individual preferences, knowledge, and restrictions on actions that affect other people (restrictions often construed as ahistorical laws). He sets these categories in a wider context and explores various human phenomena--including poetry, art, religion, and certain kinds of history and social criticism--that do not fit easily into these categories. As its title suggests, this book seeks a place outside conventional ethics. Following a brief introduction, Geuss sets out his main concerns with a focus on ethics and politics. He then expands these themes by discussing freedom, virtue, the good life, and happiness. Next he examines Theodor Adorno's views on the relation between suffering and knowledge, the nature of religion, and the role of history in giving us critical distances from existing identities. From here he moves to aesthetic concerns. The volume closes by looking at what it is for a human life to have "gaps"--to be incomplete, radically unsatisfactory, or a failure.EthicsLiberalismPhilosophyElectronic books.Ethics.Liberalism.Philosophy.17008.38bclGeuss Raymond498181MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455227703321Outside ethics2473130UNINA01158nam 2200373 450 99628114610331620180313084250.01-4799-6752-1(CKB)2560000000337325(WaSeSS)IndRDA00094582(EXLCZ)99256000000033732520180313d2014 || |engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierISDEIV 2014 International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum : September 28, 2014-October 3, 2014New York :IEEE,2014.1 online resource (500 pages)1-4799-6753-X 1-4799-6750-5 Electric discharges through gasesCongressesElectric insulators and insulationCongressesVacuumCongressesElectric discharges through gasesElectric insulators and insulationVacuumWaSeSSWaSeSSPROCEEDING996281146103316ISDEIV2530947UNISA01936nam 2200493 450 991015429220332120231110221255.00-316-55155-40-316-55161-9(CKB)3710000000971554(MiAaPQ)EBC5364424(Au-PeEL)EBL5364424(OCoLC)1034612409(EXLCZ)99371000000097155420220729d2016 uy 1engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierHot winter nights a Bear Mountain rescue story /Codi Gary ; foreword by James PattersonNew York, NY :Little, Brown and Company,[2016]©20161 online resource (104 pages)BookShots Flames 0-316-55152-X Cover -- Title Page -- Copyright -- Table of Contents -- Foreword -- Chapter 1 -- Chapter 2 -- Chapter 3 -- Chapter 4 -- Chapter 5 -- Chapter 6 -- Chapter 7 -- Chapter 8 -- Chapter 9 -- Chapter 10 -- Chapter 11 -- Chapter 12 -- Chapter 13 -- Chapter 14 -- Chapter 15 -- Chapter 16 -- Chapter 17 -- Chapter 18 -- Chapter 19 -- Chapter 20 -- Chapter 21 -- Chapter 22 -- Chapter 23 -- Chapter 24 -- About the Author.Disheartened by her recent move to Montana, former city girl Allie Fairchild is just about to throw in the towel when life in Bear Mountain takes a surprisingly sexy turn.BookShots Flames Single womenFictionTrauma centersFictionMontanaFictionSingle womenTrauma centers813/.6Gary Codi1207972Patterson JamesMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154292203321Hot winter nights2902533UNINA
