Description
This thought-provoking work presents ten diverse and original moral paradoxes that challenge our understanding of morality and the human condition. Analytic moral philosophy is explored in a provocative and engaging way, posing new questions and proposing possible solutions to these complex issues.
The book considers a broad range of subjects, from familiar topics to rarely posed questions, including "Fortunate Misfortune", "Beneficial Retirement" and "Preferring Not To Have Been Born". By examining the existence of moral paradoxes, Smilansky asks whether they are a good or a bad thing.
Through its exploration of these paradoxes, this book offers a fresh perspective on morality and encourages readers to think critically about complex issues. With its engaging and entertaining approach, it is an ideal choice for anyone interested in philosophical ethics and moral philosophy.
