A contribution to the American tradition of philosophy, it focuses attention on moral problems as we encounter them in daily life, where the search for perfection and the incessant drive to meet obligations make it difficult to attain satisfaction. The book argues that uniformity is unproductive: Human natures are varied and changeable, making the effort to impose a unitary good on everyone futile. Moreover, we don’t need to strive for more than what is good enough: Finite achievements should be adequate to satisfy finite people. The ultimate aim of the book is to reclaim the role of philosophy as a guide to life. In doing so, it presents discussions of such important philosophers as Fichte, Hegel, Peirce, Dewey, James, and, above all, Santayana.American philosophy.PhilosophyLifeElectronic books.Human natures.Santayana.choice inclusive facts.finitude.freedom.good enough.infinite obligations.progress.satisfaction.Philosophy.Life.128Lachs John186310Shade Patrick1965-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996248276003316Freedom and limits2316786UNISA01480nam1 22003373i 450 NAP039052020240906063111.0041527656X20071123d2002 ||||0itac50 baenggbz01i xxxe z01nClimate changecritical concepts in the environmentaledited by Frank Chambers and Michael OgleLondonRoutledgec2002v.24 cm.001NAP03905212000 Global warmingcarbon dioxide and climate changeedited by Frank Chambers and Michael Ogle1001NAP03905222000 Natural forcing factors for climate change on timescales 10-¹ to 10⁵ yearsedted by Frank Chambers and Michael Ogle2001NAP03905252000 Natural climate changeproxy-climate dataedited by Frank Chambers and Michael Ogle3001NAP03905262000 Evaluating recent and future climate changeedited by Frank Chambers and Michael Ogle4ClimatologiaFIRNAPC022189I551.6CLIMATOLOGIA E TEMPO ATMOSFERICO14Chambers, FrankNAPV104971Ogle, MichaelNAPV104972ITIT-NA007920071123IT-BN0095 NAP0390520Biblioteca Centralizzata di Ateneov. 1-4v. 1-4 01SALA 551.6 CLI 01Climate change250420UNISANNIO
