Moral Science

We evaluate people all the time for a wide variety of activities. We blame them for miscalculations, uninspired art, and committing crimes. We praise them for detailed brushwork, a superb pass, and their acts of kindness. We accomplish things, from solving crosswords to mastering guitar solos. We bungle our endeavors, whether this is letting a friend down or burning dinner. Sometimes these deeds are morally significant, but many times they are not. Simply Responsible defends the radical proposal that the blameworthy artist is responsible in just the same way that the blameworthy thief is.

The picture of classical antiquity most of us learned in school is framed in certain ways - glossing over misogyny while omitting the seeds of feminist resistance. Many of today's harmful practices, like school dress codes, exploitation of the environment and rape culture, have their roots in the ancient world. But in Antigone Rising, classicist Helen Morales reminds us that the myths have subversive power because they are told - and read - in different ways.

We say that life is priceless. Yet the cost of saving a life, creating a life or compensating for a life taken is routinely calculated and put into practice. In a world in love with data, it is possible to run a cost-benefit analysis on anything – including life itself.

In The Price of Life, journalist, broadcaster and documentary-maker Jenny Kleeman takes us on an adventure to meet some of the people who decide what we're worth.

Auf der Suche nach dem moralischen Kompass. Wo sind sie alle, wenn es darum geht, Flagge zu zeigen? Wenn die Zeit gekommen ist, zu dem zu stehen, was noch vor nicht allzu langer Zeit vollmundig verkündet wurde? In der Republik der Feiglinge geht der moralische Kompass schneller verloren, als Wahlversprechen gebrochen werden. Warum das so ist? Versuch einer Diagnose. Feigheit ist keine zeitgenössische Erfindung. Alte Kulturen sahen den Feigling als – übel beleumundete – Randfigur der Gemeinschaft.

The New York Times best-selling author offers a stirring defence of liberalism against the dogmatisms of our time. Not since the early 20th century has liberalism, and liberals, been under such relentless attack, from both right and left. The crisis of democracy in our era has produced a crisis of faith in liberal institutions and, even worse, in liberal thought. A Thousand Small Sanities is a manifesto rooted in the lives of people who invented and extended the liberal tradition.

"C'est un des ouvrages qui contribuèrent le plus à former le goût de la nation, et à lui donner un esprit de justesse et de précision...
