Morality, Self Knowledge and Human Suffering
In this wholly original study, Josep Corbi asks how one should relate to a certain kind of human suffering, namely, the harm that people cause one another. Relying upon real life examples of human suffering--including torture, genocide, and warfare--as opposed to thought experiments, Corbi proposes a novel approach to self-knowledge that runs counter to standard Kantian approaches to morality.
The Agnostic Inquirer
A startling achievement....I cannot overemphasize how original and groundbreaking this work is, or recommend this book too highly. The argument throughout is clear, succinct, and rigorous. It represents the highest standards of analytical philosophy. All future work, if it is to be up to speed, will have to deal with what Menssen and Sullivan have done.

Political Philosophy from an Intercultural Perspective
The objective of the following collected volume is to encourage a critical reflection on the relationship between "power" and "non-power" in our contemporary "world" and, proceeding from various philosophical traditions, to investigate the multifaceted aspects of this relationship. The authors’ respective investigations proceed from an intercultural perspective and fall predominantly in the domain of political theory and philosophy. This volume takes an intercultural political perspective, which means, on the one hand, involving non-European philosophies in a global debate about power relations and their effects in the world and, on the other hand, confronting local traditions of thought w...

The Last Superstition
"The central contention of the "New Atheism" of Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens is that the centuries-old "war between science and religion" is now over and that religion has lost. But as Edward Feser shows in The Last Superstition, there is not, and never has been, any war between science and religion at all. There has instead been a conflict between two entirely philosophical worldviews: the classical "teleological" vision of Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas, on which purpose or goal-directedness is as inherent a feature of the material world as mass or electric charge; and the modern "mechanical" vision of Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, and Hume, a...
Der letzte Aberglaube
Die zentrale Behauptung des „Neuen Atheismus“ von Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett und anderen lautet, dass es seit mehreren Jahrhunderten einen Krieg zwischen Wissenschaft und Religion gibt und die Religion diesen Krieg ständig verliert. Die Menschheit sei heute an einem Punkt angelangt, der eine vollkommen säkulare wissenschaftliche Darstellung der Welt möglich macht. Deshalb gäbe es keinen Grund mehr, warum eine rationale Person irgendeiner Religion Beachtung schenken sollte. Wie Edward Feser in diesem Buch zeigt, gab es nie einen Krieg zwischen Wissenschaft und Religion. Stattdessen handelt es sich um einen Konflikt zwischen zwei völlig verschiedenen philosophischen Konzeptionen: auf der einen Seite, die klassische „teleologische“ Sicht von Platon, Aristoteles, Augustinus und Thomas von Aquin und auf der anderen Seite ein „mechanistisches“ Weltbild ohne Sinn und Zweck. Der Autor führt in dieser Schrift in die wichtigsten Grundlagen der aristotelisch-thomistischen Philosophie ein und macht deutlich, dass die so genannte „wissenschaftliche Weltanschauung“ der Neuen Atheisten zwangsläufig die eigenen rationalen Grundlagen der Wissenschaften untergräbt.
