Freedom and Fulfillment by Joel Feinberg Pdf

Dealing with a diverse set of problems in practical and theoretical ethics, these fourteen essays, three of them previously unpublished, reconfirm Joel Feinberg's leading position in the field of legal philosophy. With a clarity and humor that will be familiar to readers of his other works, Feinberg writes on topics including "wrongful life" suits in the law of torts, or whether there is any sense in the remark that a person is so badly off that he would be better off not existing at all; the morality of abortion; educational options; free expression; civil disobedience; and the duty of easy rescue in criminal law. He continues with a three-part defense of moral rights in the abstract, a discussion of voluntary euthanasia, and an inquiry into arguments of various kinds for not granting legal rights in enforcement of a person's acknowledged moral rights. This collection concludes with two essays dealing with concepts used in appraising the whole of a person's life: absurdity and self-fulfillment, and their interplay.

Zero Adversity by Michael Russ Pdf

Between the lines of life, something occurs from within us each time we face situations that strike a nerve. It's like we are reduced to robotic reactions without realizing it--reactions that consume time and energy, make you feel helpless, and rob you of your quality of life.Zero Adversity, a practical life tool, initiates a living process that allows you to stop the clock and think about how, or whether, to respond to any event, regardless of its severity. This course of action gives you the power and control to seize the moment and take back your quality of life. When you build your life around Zero Adversity, you put yourself in touch with your innate ability to be authentic by expanding your freedom to pursue the stuff you want to pursue, be more fulfilled by what you do, and be true to yourself in a culture where being authentic is an unnatural way of living.What would you do if you knew you would never again experience adversity? How would it make you feel to have the time to freely live your life? Where would you travel to? How would you design your life? What kind of livelihood would you direct your new found energies towards? What kind of relationships would you cultivate and nurture? In a world where our life experience is continually defined by stress, struggle, frustration, anger, and a lack of time, Zero Adversity offers a practical way for you to considerably upgrade your life experience.

Transcending Fear by Victoria M. Reynolds Pdf

“Religion and Spirituality are like peanut butter and honey. They have been sandwiched together for so long that most people do not realize they are two separate and very distinct flavors" Far too many of us go through life afraid to move forward or hesitant to try what we have always dreamed of. We are often unknowingly trapped in fear, guilt and shame as a result of the beliefs that were placed upon us as children. Although these fear-based beliefs may not be consciously visible, they profoundly, yet subtly, prevent us from finding inner joy and real genuine success. In “Transcending Fear” Victoria shares the process she used to overcome the pain of her past and the subconscious remnants of her childhood fundamentalist religion. By freeing herself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, she found the joy and fulfillment that is every human’s birthright. This story of liberation is shared in a simple step-by-step process that anyone can use to free themselves from the pain of the past and step into the future with greater confidence and enthusiasm.

Freedom of Speech and Its Limits by Wojciech Sadurski Pdf

In authoritarian states, the discourse on freedom of speech, conducted by those opposed to non-democratic governments, focuses on the core aspects of this freedom: on a right to criticize the government, a right to advocate theories arid ideologies contrary to government-imposed orthodoxy, a right to demand institutional reforms, changes in politics, resignation of the incompetent and the corrupt from positions of authority. The claims for freedom of speech focus on those exercises of freedom that are most fundamental and most beneficial to citizens - and which are denied to them by the government. But in a by-and large democratic polity, where these fundamental benefits of freedom of speech are generally enjoyed by the citizens, the public and scholarly discourse on freedom of speech hovers about the peripheries of that freedom; the focus is on its outer boundaries rather than at the central territory of freedom of speech. Those borderline cases, in which people who are otherwise genuinely committed to the core aspects of freedom of speech may sincerely disagree, include pornography, racist hate speech and religious bigoted expressions, defamation of politicians and of private persons, contempt of court, incitement to violence, disclosure of military or commercial secrets, advertising of merchandise such as alcohol or cigarettes or of services and entertainment such as gambling and prostitution.

Guiding Your Own Life on the Way of the Lord Jesus by Joseph H. Casey Pdf

After seriously want to be liberated from simply accepting moral directives from family, from media, from ones group, from ones culture and willing to labor to understand what makes any action morally good or bad., Grisez , a lay moral theologian, will equip you to guide your own journey before and to God. Liberated, you will feel you are creating your own self, that your life is in your hands. Grisez is a sound, conservative Catholic, but creatively independent. Appealing only to reason at first, hence accessible to all people, he focuses on free choice and human fulfillment. A clear criterion of good (morally) and bad (morally) choices is provided. Aware we act immorally because of non-integrated feelings, he articulates ways to avoid doing so. These ways he then transforms for the Christian to follow the way of the Lord Jesus, love becoming the criterion of morally good choicesallowing God, who is love, to co-operate in our choices as you create yourself as a loving self.

Self-Fulfillment by Alan Gewirth Pdf

Cultures around the world have regarded self-fulfillment as the ultimate goal of human striving and as the fundamental test of the goodness of a human life. The ideal has also been criticized, however, as egotistical or as so value-neutral that it fails to distinguish between, for example, self-fulfilled sinners and self-fulfilled saints. Alan Gewirth presents here a systematic and highly original study of self-fulfillment that seeks to overcome these and other arguments and to justify the high place that the ideal has been accorded. He does so by developing an ethical theory that ultimately grounds the value of self-fulfillment in the idea of the dignity of human beings. Gewirth begins by distinguishing two models of self- fulfillment--aspiration-fulfillment and capacity-fulfillment--and shows how each of these contributes to the intrinsic value of human life. He then distinguishes between three types of morality--universalist, particularist, and personalist--and shows how each contributes to the values embodied in self-fulfillment. Building on these ideas, he develops a Odialectical' conception of reason that shows how human rights are central to self-fulfillment. Gewirth also argues that self-fulfillment has a social as well as an individual dimension: that the nature of society and the obstacles that disadvantaged groups face affect strongly the character of the self-fulfillment that persons can achieve. Bold in scope and rigorous in execution, Self-Fulfillment is a powerful new contribution to moral, social, and political philosophy.

Virtues of Freedom by Paul Guyer Pdf

The essays collected in this volume by Paul Guyer, one of the world's foremost Kant scholars, explore Kant's attempt to develop a morality grounded on the intrinsic and unconditional value of the human freedom to set our own ends. When regulated by the principle that the freedom of all is equally valuable, the freedom to set our own ends -- what Kant calls humanity - becomes what he calls autonomy. These essays explore Kant's strategies for establishing the premise that freedom is the inner worth of the world or the essential end of humankind, as he says, and for deriving the specific duties that fundamental principle of morality generates in the empirical circumstances of human existence. The Virtues of Freedom further investigates Kant's attempts to prove that we are always free to live up to this moral ideal, that is, that we have free will no matter what, as well as his more successful explorations of the ways in which our natural tendencies to be moral -- dispositions to the feeling of respect and more specific feelings such as love and self-esteem -- can and must be cultivated and educated. Guyer finally examines the various models of human community that Kant develops from his premise that our associations must be based on the value of freedom for all. The contrasts but also similarities of Kant's moral philosophy to that of David Hume but many of his other predecessors and contemporaries, such as Stoics and Epicureans, Pufendorf and Wolff, Hutcheson, Kames, and Smith, are also explored.
