Books like Think a second time by Dennis Prager


Think a Second Time opens with a provocative and engaging examination of the heart of human nature itself. Prager turns conventional wisdom on its head by offering a compelling argument for why the belief that people are basically good is not only wrong but dangerous. He illuminates how and why friends disappoint us and dissects public sexuality and television. Prager offers challenging answers to up-to-the-minute questions: Should a single woman have a child? Why don't good homes always produce good children? Is American really racist? . He then turns sharp attention to the factors that threaten the very soul of our nation - from the Los Angeles riots to our dangerous tendency to deny evil. Prager even sounds an alarm on the dangers of idealism. He examines the roots of extremism - from religious extremism around the world to secular extremism in the Western world - and what Prager deems the immorality of pacifist thinking. Dennis Prager's powerful essay on the afterlife, "Is This Life All There Is?," and his other thoughts on God address issues at the core of our existence. Dennis Prager has a large and extremely devoted following from his highly rated radio talk shows on WABC New York and KABC Los Angeles as well as his recent half-hour national TV show and his quarterly journal Ultimate Issues.

Casuistry and modern ethics by 9622920|Richard Brian Miller book cover

πŸ“˜ Casuistry and modern ethics

Did the Gulf War defend moral principle or Western oil interests? Is violent pornography an act of free speech or an act of violence against women? In Casuistry and Modern Ethics, Richard B. Miller sheds new light on the potential of casuistry - case-based reasoning - for resolving these and other questions of conscience raised by the practical quandaries of modern life. Rejecting the packaging of moral experience within simple descriptions and inflexible principles, Miller argues instead for identifying and making sense of the ethically salient features of individual cases. Because this practical approach must cope with a diverse array of experiences, Miller draws on a wide variety of diagnostic tools from such fields as philosophy of science, legal reasoning, theology, literary theory, hermeneutics, and moral philosophy. Opening new avenues for practical reasoning, Miller's interdisciplinary work will challenge scholars who are interested in the intersections of ethics and political philosophy, cultural criticism, and debates about method in religion and morality.
