Description
Elements of Ethics explores the fundamental questions and principles of philosophical ethics, renewing the basic inquiry into how human existence is shaped by freedom and responsibility.
The author's provocative thesis posits that if ethics is real, it cannot be proved, as it may be an irreducible origin. This book delves into the question of how to live, examining the relation between human individuals and the world, and highlighting the often-overlooked role of affectivity and katharsis in all ethical experiences.
By clarifying the coincidence between "is" and "ought," this work provides insight into the nature of ethics and our place within the universe. A thorough account of how being oneself presupposes freedom and responsibility, Elements of Ethics offers a nuanced understanding of the human experience.
