Nesta obra, Juliana realiza um estudo sólido sobre o problema da educação do desejo em Aristóteles, que pode ser ilustrado com a seguinte pergunta: como é possível educar uma parte em nós que não é racional e que, portanto, não compreenderia as boas razões para buscar ou evitar algo? Se o desejo se direciona naturalmente para o que é prazeroso ao invés de seguir a razão, como seria possível ensiná-lo, uma vez que ele não é capaz de racionar e compreender argumentos? A autora divide sua investigação em duas partes: a primeira sobre a natureza do prazer, e a segunda sobre a relação do desejo com o prazer e a razão. Com isso, ela busca compreender como o desejo pode ser persuadido pela razão de modo a não se deixar conduzir apenas pelo que parece ser bom por ser prazeroso.

In Morality Bernard Williams confronts the problems of writing moral philosophy and offers a stimulating alternative to more systematic accounts which seem nevertheless to have left all the important issues somewhere off the page. Williams explains, analyses and distinguishes a number of key positions, from the purely amoral to notions of subjective or relative morality, testing their coherence before going on to explore the nature of 'goodness' in relation to responsibilities and choice, roles, standards and human nature. A classic in moral philosophy.

"On rare occasion a philosopher enters our midst who challenges us to see and think and act differently; who thereby delights us, and inspires wonder and admiration and love. Cora Diamond is that philosopher. She is a master of diagnosis -- and her work is living proof that a beautifully crafted diagnosis will not leave us unchanged. On our lives with animals, our lives with each other, on being human, on thinking as itself ethical, on facing or avoiding reality, and living with the threat of being undone by it, Cora Diamond's thinking gets inside us, and gets us going. Cora Diamond on Ethics is an excellent collection of essays on the meaning and scope of her ethical work". — Jonathan Lear, John U. Nef Distinguished Service Professor at the Committee on Social Thought and in the Department of Philosophy, The University of Chicago, USA This collection offers an in-depth look at Cora Diamond’s distinctive approach to ethics and its philosophical significance. It comprises a new essay by Cora Diamond on the policing of concepts, followed by ten original chapters by world-class scholars covering conceptual loss, moral theory, the category of the human, the moral consideration of animals, and the meaning of narcissism. Including comparisons to the work of other contemporary moral philosophers such as Martha Nussbaum, Jeff McMahan, Rai Gaita, Eva Kittay, Christine Korsgaard, and Edward Harcourt, the volume also creates interdisciplinary links between Diamond’s work and other fields of study, including psychoanalysis and contemporary ethology. Showcasing the vital importance of Diamond’s contribution to philosophy, this volume is essential reading for scholars working in ethics, philosophy of language and literature. Maria Balaska is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Hertfordshire, UK. She is the author of Wittgenstein and Lacan at the Limit: meaning and astonishment.

This 2002 book was the first English translation of Friedrich Schleiermacher's mature ethical theory. Situated between the better-known positions of Kant and Hegel, Schleiermacher's ethics represents an under-explored and singular option within the rich and creative tradition of German idealism. Schleiermacher is known to English readers primarily as a theologian and hermeneuticist, but many German scholars have argued that it is in fact his philosophical work in ethics that constitutes his most outstanding intellectual achievement. The lectures, which were not published in his lifetime, are thought to span the years 1812-17 and address such topics as ethics as a descriptive science, ethics as a study of the action of reason on nature, and doctrines of goods, virtue, and duties. This volume presents them in an accessible new translation by Louise Adey Huish, together with an introduction by Robert Louden that sets them in context and assesses their achievement.

Bernard Williams's remarkable essay on morality confronts the problems of writing moral philosophy, and offers a stimulating alternative to more systematic accounts which seem nevertheless to have left all the important issues somewhere off the page. Williams explains, analyses and distinguishes a number of key positions, from the purely amoral to notions of subjective or relative morality, testing their coherence before going on to explore the nature of 'goodness' in relation to responsibilities and choice, roles, standards, and human nature. The final chapters make a fascinating enquiry into what morality is about, looking beyond happiness to other human aims and ideals. This re-issue of a classic in moral philosophy includes a new foreword by the author.
