The Future of Palestine: How Discrimination Hinders Change was inspired by the shocking "honor killing" of the author's classmate and friend, Israa Ghrayeb. Her alleged crime? The simple act of going out, in broad daylight, with her fiancé and his sister - an act Ghrayeb's cousin maintained was unacceptable in a conservative society. While Ghrayeb's killers may be free, their manner of thinking is anything but. Tamar Haddad seeks to open minds to diverse perspectives and to give voice to those who are commonly marginalized in conservative Palestinian society.

Arthur Schopenhauers Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit liefern Denkanstöße zur Corona-Krise. Wie wichtig ist es, Leid zu vermeiden? Wie wichtig ist es demgegenüber, sich zu vergnügen?

In geschliffener Sprache und mit einer Prise Humor schildert Schopenhauer seinen pessimistischen Blick auf das Leben. In der Pandemie regt Schopenhauers zeitloser Text an, das ein oder andere abgesagte Fest mit größerer Gelassenheit zu nehmen. Gelesen von Benjamin Lucas.

A must-listen for anyone interested in philosophical psychology, moral epistemology, or Kant-interpretation, this brisk monograph provides a long-overdue alternative to the dreary and opaque tomes on which Kant-aficionados have thus far had to rely.

It is clearly explained: what it is for a statement to be necessarily true, why necessity, possibility, existence, and non-existence are properties of propositions (truths and falsehoods), not of objects or states of affairs, and more.

Most of us have been trained by schools and universities as to what scientific and historical truths are supposed to be. However, I maintain that much of what science and history teaches us is in error because the proponents of different points of view have too narrow an understanding of the truth that reality presents.

In this briskly written volume, a case is made that a value is a belief as to how one live one's life if one's psychological architecture is to retain its integrity, and a case is thereby made that intention is an operationalized value. This analysis makes it possible to distinguish between minds that do and minds that do not host selves. (Selves are minds that have values; minds that are not selves do not.) The relationship between weakness of the will and self-deception is made clear, and it is explained how it is that one can knowingly act in self-destructive ways.

The empirical sciences make assumptions that they are not themselves capable of justifying. Philosophy justifies those assumptions; that is its job. Sound interesting? The author thinks so too! Listen to Philosophical Knowledge, and learn about philosophy.

The Prince is a classic work of political philosophy by famous political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. A phrase often associated with this work is “the ends justify the means.” In other words, Machiavelli believed that acts of cruelty or lawbreaking were justifiable if the purpose of such acts was to advance one’s own power and chances of survival. The adjective “Machiavellian” refers to behaving in a way that aligns with Machiavelli’s philosophy. To this day, Machiavelli’s philosophy is controversial.

Darf man im Notfall lügen? Etwa um einen Mord zu verhindern? Stellen Sie sich vor, ein Kopfgeldjäger frage Sie, ob der von ihm Verfolgte zu Hause sei. Wäre es hier nicht angemessen, ihn durch eine Falschaussage in die Irre zu führen? Nein, argumentiert Immanuel Kant in seinem kontroversen Essay "Über ein vermeintes Recht aus Menschenliebe zu lügen" (1797). Die Pflicht der Wahrhaftigkeit gilt unbedingt.
