A collection of answers to the philosophical questions on people's minds - from the big to the personal to the ones you didn't know you needed answered. Based on real-life questions from his Ask a Philosopher series, Ian Olasov offers his answers to questions such as: Are people innately good or bad? Is it okay to have a pet fish? Is it okay to have kids? Is color subjective? If humans colonize Mars, who will own the land?

Bill O'Reilly is the very embodiment of the idea of a Culture Warrior, and in this book he lives up to the title brilliantly, with all the brashness and forthrightness at his command. He sees that America is in the midst of a fierce culture war between those who embrace traditional values and those who want to change America into a "secular-progressive" country.

We like to think of ourselves, our friends, and our families as decent people. We may not be saints, but we are still honest, relatively kind, and mostly trustworthy. Christian Miller argues here that we are badly mistaken in thinking this. Hundreds of recent studies in psychology tell a different story: that we all have serious character flaws that prevent us from being as good as we think we are - and that we do not even recognize that these flaws exist.

Luke Russell discusses why some philosophers think that evil is a myth or a fantasy, while others think that evil is real. Along the way he asks whether evil is always horrific and incomprehensible or if it can be banal. Considering if there is a special psychological hallmark that sets the evildoers apart from the rest of us, Russell also engages with ongoing discussions over psychopathy and empathy, analyzing the psychology behind evildoing.

Moralnomics: The Moral Road to Prosperity dares to bring back the "M" word. But this time, the morality is universal, being objectively anchored in human nature - as revealed by what has and has not worked to elevate the human condition, including our living standards and our economic performance. Regardless of whether you believe that human nature comes from a kind and loving God, or you don't believe in God, or you simply prefer that religion and public policy not be mixed, this book is for you.

You have just bumped into a great deal with a unique combo of two different books, which cover topics on critical thinking, rationality, and using intelligence as a moral compass.This is one of the best books about these particular sub-topics.

Un audiolibro inteligente y ágil, que profundiza en las complejas relaciones entre moral y ficción, que vuelven a estar -o acaso nunca han dejado de estarlo- en el centro del debate. ¿Hay arte moralmente condenable? ¿O es el arte inmune al juicio moral? Las respuestas más socorridas que se ofrecen en la esfera pública a estas cuestiones parecen acorralarnos para que elijamos entre las opciones de un solemne dilema. O bien se reclama la suspensión total del juicio moral acerca de la obra de arte o bien se mimetiza el veredicto propio del derecho penal: culpable o inocente.

This a remarkably honest and transparent audiobook on the evolution of morality and how it is a necessary illusion.

Revolutionary War officer Nathan Hale, one of America's first spies, said, "Any kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary." A statue of Hale stands outside CIA headquarters, and the agency often cites his statement as one of its guiding principles. But who decides what is necessary for the public good, and is it really true that any kind of service is permissible for the public good? These questions are at the heart of James M. Olson's book, Fair Play: The Moral Dilemmas of Spying.

Most Americans are now familiar with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and its prevalence among troops. In this groundbreaking new audiobook, David Wood examines the far more pervasive yet less understood experience of those we send to war: moral injury, the violation of our fundamental values of right and wrong that so often occurs in the impossible moral dilemmas of modern conflict.

The Left has seized on our economic troubles as an excuse to “blame the rich guy” and paint a picture of capitalism and the free market as selfish, greedy, and cruel. Exactly the opposite is true, says Father Robert Sirico in his thought-provoking book Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy. Father Sirico argues that a free economy actually promotes charity, selflessness, and kindness. In Defending the Free Market, he shows why free-market capitalism is not only the best way to ensure individual success and national prosperity but also the surest route to a moral and socially just society.

An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals was published in 1751 by Scottish enlightenment philosopher David Hume, a man who revolutionized our understanding of philosophy. Hume uses this work to explore the foundations of morality, asserting that our ethical nature is based upon sentiment rather than reason. He delves deeply into the subject of morality, expanding upon the perspective expressed initially in his Treatise of Human Nature.

Are contemporary soldiers exploited by the state and society that they defend? More specifically, have America's professional service members disproportionately carried the moral weight of America's war-fighting decisions since the inception of an all-volunteer force? In this volume, Michael J. Robillard and Bradley J. Strawser examine the question of whether and how American soldiers have been exploited in this way. Robillard and Strawser offer an original theory of "moral exploitation".

Here is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor, The Prince is a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince, a king, a president.

La Tierra no es perfectamente redonda, pero la circunferencia creada por los hombres sí lo es. Lo malo es que cuando intentaban medir esa circunferencia inventada con su diámetro, salía un número irracional, un número desconcertante, el número pi. Otros conceptos ideales creados también por los hombres, como la simetría, la ortodoxia, la unanimidad, el orden o la belleza pueden derivar también en consecuencias irracionales, indeseadas, injustas y dañinas.
