Synopsis
Justice, equality, and righteousness--these are some of our greatest moral convictions. Yet in times of social conflict, morals can become rigid, making religious war, ethnic cleansing, and political purges possible. Morality, therefore, can be viewed as pathology-a rhetorical, psychological, and social tool that is used and abused as a weapon. An expert on Eastern philosophies and social systems theory, Hans-Georg Moeller questions the perceived goodness of morality and those who claim morality is inherently positive. Critiquing the ethical "fanaticism" of Western moralists, such as Immanuel Kant, Lawrence Kohlberg, John Rawls, and the utilitarians, Moeller points to the absurd fundamentalisms and impracticable prescriptions arising from definitions of good. Instead he advances a theory of "moral foolishness," or moral asceticism, extracted from the "amoral" philosophers of East Asia and such thinkers as Ludwig Wittgenstein and Niklas Luhmann. The moral fool doesn't understand why ethics are necessarily good, and he isn't convinced that the moral perspective is always positive. In this way he is like most people, and Moeller defends this foolishness against ethical pathologies that support the death penalty, just wars, and even Jerry Springer's crude moral theater. Comparing and contrasting the religious philosophies of Christianity, Daoism, and Zen Buddhism, Moeller presents a persuasive argument in favor of amorality.

- l***p (98)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaBook was sold at a fair price and was in excellent condition when received; book was as described in listing. I expected slow shipping, as I believe the listing said it would be slow; but I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the book arrived. I had a question about the book and seller was quick to respond, very helpful and very polite. Would definitely buy from this seller again.

- o***g (17)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaWas a bit worried ordering something from Alaska since I never have, but this seller proved my fear was probably a bit irrational. It arrived in great condition, and far faster than I thought. Also, I appreciate the low price. Thank you.
