Kinneging Andreas (39 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. Do good and evil exist? Absolutely. In this bracing book, the eminent Dutch philosopher Andreas Kinneging turns fashionable thinking on its head, revealing how good and evil are objective, universal, and unchanging--and how they must be rediscovered in our age. In mapping the geography of good and evil, Kinneging reclaims, and reintroduces us to, the great tradition of ancient and Christian thought. Traditional wisdom enables us to address the eternal questions of good and evil that confront us in both public and private life. Though it is common to accept uncritically the blessings of modernity and its intellectual sources, the Enlightenment and Romanticism, Kinneging shows that traditional thinking is richer and more realistic. Indeed, we see how, in more than a few respects, the Enlightenment and Romanticism brought not progress but deterioration. Kinneging skillfully reformulates and defends the insights of traditional thinking for today's readers, demonstrating how an objective morality is to be understood and how we can know what morality demands of us. At a time when the traditional virtues have practically disappeared from our language (that is, all but one--"tolerance"), he lays out the foundations of virtue and vice. Ultimately, Kinneging reveals the lasting significance of these seemingly archaic notions--to our own lives, to our families, to our culture, and to civilization. This profound, award-winning work establishes Andreas Kinneging as one of our wisest moral philosophers. "Shows with utmost clarity the virtue of intellectual courage . . . A brilliant model for sallies against our dark age."--The Intercollegiate Review "[Kinneging is] leader of a conservative intellectual revival in the Netherlands." --New York Times Magazine.…

Paperback, 22 cm, 319 pp. Wat zijn de overeenkomsten in het denken over goed en kwaad tussen bijvoorbeeld het christendom, hindoeïsme, islam, confucianisme en boeddhisme? In Deugdethiek, levensbeschouwing en religie gaan verschillende filosofen op zoek naar een "wereldethos' dat levensbeschouwelijke tradities over de hele wereld met elkaar verbindt. Deze verbinding wordt gezocht in deugden die in vele tradities aanwezig zijn en dikwijls een voorname rol spelen. Wat op het eerste gezicht onoverbrugbare verschillen lijken tussen culturen, blijkt na een inspectie van de achterliggende deugden vaak op veel punten opmerkelijk overeenkomstig te zijn. Naast een inleiding over de klassieke deugdenleer bij Homerus, Plato en Aristoteles gaan de auteurs in op de invulling van deze deugdenleer bij de belangrijkste levensbeschouwingen. De bundel eindigt met een hoofdstuk over de opvattingen van deugd in de praktijk van de Nederlandse samenleving. Cond.: zeer goed / very good. ISBN: 9789000345274.…

3e druk 533 p., register, bibliogr. (Orig. large paperback. Rug iets door zon verbleekt. ZEER GOED) In Geografie van goed en kwaad gaat Kinneging in zijn essays op zoek naar antwoorden op de vragen van goed en kwaad waarvoor wij ons in deze tijd gesteld zien. Net als Vermeers geograaf tracht Kinneging de wereld in kaart te brengen. Niet de wereld van landen en zeeën, maar die van goed en kwaad, van beschaving en barbarij, van vrijheid en tirannie. Alle aspecten van onze moderne wereld, waaronder de samenleving, de rol van gezin en familie, de markteconomie en de staat, komen aan bod. Helder beantwoordt Kinneging de meest essentiële vragen. Een zeer actueel boek over wat in hoge mate tijdloze kwesties zijn.…
