This work raises for the contemporary reader the ancient and abiding question of the nature and meaning of human virtue. In Part 1, it draws upon Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero and the works of Renaissance Christian humanists who were influenced by them, such as Pico, Vives, and Erasmus. The moral act guided by the cardinal virtues and the good is seen as the key to human happiness and the formation of character. Character is the basis for the pursuit of self-knowledge, decorum, and dignity, which properly guide human affairs. Part 2 takes up Hegel's principle of the labor of the negative as applied to three phenomena of modern life: the presence of terrorism, the personality of the psycho-sociopath, and the problems of the technologically dominated life of the modern person. These are the most powerful impediments to the good life in the modern world and pose problems to which the ethical doctrines of utilitarianism and the categorical imperative provide an insufficient response. To confront these phenomena, we are led back to the classical conception of the role of prudence or practical wisdom as the foundation of ethical life.

Ross Poole displays the social content of the various conceptions of morality at work in contemporary society, and casts a strikingly fresh light on such fundamental problems as the place of reason in ethics, moral objectivity and the distinction between duty and virtue. The book provides a critical account of the moral theories of a number of major philosophers, including Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, Habermas, Rawls, Gewirth and MacIntyre. It also presents a systematic critique of three of the most significant responses to modernity: liberalism, nationalism and nihilism. It takes seriously the suggestion that men and women are subject to different conceptions of morality, and places the issue of gender at the centre of moral philosophy. Poole has written a valuable addition to the Ideas series.

Moral Philosophy and Moral Education considers the interconnections of ethics, education, and the philosophy of culture as related to the human concern with self-knowledge. The individual self finds its inner life writ large in the forms of culture such as religion, art, and history. Such forms of cultural life represent and embody normative ideals that can provide the necessary content to shape the character and the conduct of civic life. Thora Ilin Bayer draws upon the ancient Greek view of education as paideia and the conception of Bildung of the German idealist philosophers. These two ideas of education aim at the development of the whole person as distinct from training in a particular skill, subject matter, technique, or occupation. The education of the whole person aims at the production in the individual of a broad mental outlook harmoniously joined with a knowledge of the great perspectives and principles of human culture as it takes its various shapes within the history of humanity. Moral philosophy requires both culture and the individual as its terms of inquiry, and moral education requires a vision of how to have these two terms interact to form a whole. ""Professor Bayer's book is philosophical thought at its best. It is clearly and elegantly written, consistently rendering complex ideas comprehensible without compromising their meaning. Her study brings together culture, education, and moral theory in terms of the perennial philosophical ideal of self-knowledge. It does so by taking the reader through the treasure-house of the great traditions of Italian Humanism and German Idealism. This is a unique and rewarding work in every sense."" --Donald Phillip Verene, Emory University ""This beautifully written book provides a timely reminder of the value of humanistic education in a world fragmented by reductive theories and politicized thinking. Its tone is uplifting and redemptive of human experience, linking the classical concepts of education, self-knowledge, and moral goodness in the writings of Vico, Hegel, Dewey, and especially Cassirer, and finding in the philosophy of culture the key to human freedom. The narrative moves effortlessly through these difficult texts, not to preach but to place the ideas they contain in conversation with the reader."" --Jack Zupko, University of Alberta ""I recommend Thora Bayer's Moral Philosophy and Moral Education for publication. It can be viewed as a companion piece to D. P. Verene's Moral Philosophy and the Modern World and Metaphysics and the Modern World, both published by Cascade Books. Bayer's book is based on Giambattista Vico's premise that the true is the made and that human making first began in the literatures of the ancients. Vico's ideal of education entails a grasp of the totality of this making. Ernst Cassirer echoes this view with the aide of Kant and Hegel (and the entire history of philosophy) to see culture as the work of spirit-making symbols from objects that reveal the labor of the self, which begins in myths. Thus, education requires a grasp of the totality of this making where symbols attempt harmony in difference for the good of the individuals and of the whole community. Morality, education, and culture, historically grasped, combine in universals expressing the individuals that maintain them and that keep the barbarians of reason bereft of imagination at the gate."" --David Lovekin, Hastings College Thora Ilin Bayer is Professor of Philosophy and RosaMary Foundation Professor of Liberal Arts at Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans. She is the author of Cassirer's Metaphysics of Symbolic Forms: A Philosophical Commentary (2001) and coeditor (with Donald Phillip Verene) of Giambattista Vico: Keys to the New Science (2009).

The Contradictions of Modern Moral Philosophy is a highly original and radical critique of contemporary moral theory. Paul Johnston demonstrates that much recent moral philosophy is confused about the fundamental issue of whether there are correct moral judgements. He shows that the standard modern approaches to ethics cannot justify - or even make much sense of - traditional moral beliefs. Applied rigorously, these approaches suggest that we should reject ethics as a set of outdated and misguided claims. Rather than facing up to this conclusion, most recent moral philosophy consists of attempts to find some ways of preserving moral beliefs. This places a contradiction at the heart of moral philosophy. As a resilt it is often impossible to tell whether a contemporary philosopher ultimately rejects or endorses the idea of objective right and wrong. On the basis of a Wittgenstein approach Paul Johnston puts forward an alternative account of ethics that avoids this contradiction and recognises that the central issues of ethics cannot be resolved by conceptual analysis. He then uses this account to highlight the contradictions of important contemporary moral theorists such as Bernard Williams, Alasdair MacIntyre, Thomas Nagel and Charles Taylor.

In this, perhaps his most important work, Solovyov explores notions of God, goodness, and spirituality, and how he saw the modern world was changing them. What does it mean to be "good"? What, if any, virtues are inherent in humanity? How can we reflect goodness in the practical realms of politics and society on the whole? Solovyov's thoughts on some of the most basic questions we have ever asked are provocative and intriguing; they had a profound influence on the writings of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, as well as the thinkers of the Soviet era. Russian philosopher and literary critic VLADIMIR SERGEYEVICH SOLOVYOV (1853-1900) lived at a vital moment in history, in which the burgeoning modernity of the Industrial Revolution was forever changing how humans live and what we believe. Solovyov spent his lifetime seeking truth-he experimented with and then discarded numerous religious philosophies, including atheism. Eventually, Solovyov settled on Christianity as the best path to goodness and rightness in the world.
