Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - You're probably never going to be a saint. Even so, let's face it: you could be a better person. We all could. But what does that mean for you In a world full of suffering and deprivation, it's easy to despair--and it's also easy to judge ourselves for not doing more.

He's realistic: he understands that living up to ideals is a constant struggle. In A Decent Life, May leads readers through the traditional philosophical bases of a number of arguments about what ethics asks of us, then he develops a more reasonable and achievable way of thinking about them, one that shows us how we can use philosophical insights to participate in the complicated world around us. He explores how we should approach the many relationships in our lives--with friends, family, animals, people in need--through the use of a more forgiving, if no less fundamentally serious, moral compass. With humor, insight, and a lively and accessible style, May opens a discussion about how we can, realistically, lead the good life that we aspire to. A philosophy of goodness that leaves it all but unattainable is ultimately self-defeating.
