Ethics
Dietrich von Hildebrand offers here the most nuanced version that we have of a value-based ethics, building on the ethics of Max Scheler, but going far beyond it. The Prolegomena of the work gives an account of Hildebrand's understanding of phenomenology. In the first fourteen chapters Hildebrand lays out a general theory of value, in which he distinguishes himself from his predecessors by not limiting value to the sense of what is good for the human person, but instead placing at the center of his reflections what is good and worthy in itself, prior to its beneficent impact on human persons. On this basis he develops his signature concept of value-response, wherein a person gives value its due, along with his signature concept of the transcendence of the person in value-response. He re-thinks virtue theory on the basis of his value philosophy, and in doing so he places virtue at the center of his ethics long before the revival of virtue theory in Anglo-American thought. Of particular importance is his re-thinking of moral evil in its different forms, and he throws new light on the question how it is possible knowingly to do wrong. The book concludes with probing account of the religious dimension of the moral life and the place of God in morality.

Is Buddhist ethics comparable to Christian ethics?
Buddhist ethics and Christian ethics share some similarities, such as the emphasis on compassion, love, and non-violence. Both traditions also promote the idea of treating others with kindness and respect. However, there are also significant differences between the two, such as the concept of sin and salvation in Christianity, which is not present in Buddhism. Additionally, the role of divine authority and the concept of God differs between the two traditions. Overall, while there are some common ethical principles, the underlying beliefs and foundations of Buddhist and Christian ethics are distinct.

Does Kant's deontological ethics contradict Aristotle's eudaemonistic ethics?
Kant's deontological ethics and Aristotle's eudaemonistic ethics have some fundamental differences, but they do not necessarily contradict each other. Kant's ethics focus on duty and the intention behind actions, while Aristotle's ethics emphasize achieving eudaimonia, or human flourishing, through virtuous actions. While Kant's emphasis on duty can sometimes conflict with Aristotle's emphasis on virtue, both ethical theories ultimately aim to guide individuals towards leading a good and moral life. Therefore, while they may approach ethics from different perspectives, they can be seen as complementary rather than contradictory.
-
Is Nicomachean Ethics the same as Virtue Ethics?
Nicomachean Ethics is a specific work by Aristotle that is considered one of the foundational texts in virtue ethics. While Nicomachean Ethics is a key text within the broader framework of virtue ethics, virtue ethics itself is a broader ethical theory that encompasses various other works and perspectives beyond just Aristotle's. So, while Nicomachean Ethics is a significant part of virtue ethics, they are not exactly the same thing.

Rewilding and Ecological Justice : The Ethics and Politics of Wildlife Regeneration
This book presents rewilding as a matter of ecological justice. To date, most books and articles on rewilding have viewed this concept through the lens of environmental science, while others have analysed it from a political, ethical and philosophical perspective.However, little attention has so far been paid to the justice angle of rewilding.Why and how should justice for rewilding be articulated?In order to address this question, the author delves into the capabilities approach extended to nonhumans, distributive theories of ecological justice, welfare biology strategies applied to wildlife, environmental virtues, philosophies of recognition and identity, and decolonial studies.By discussing these narratives, this book is able to outline a roadmap indicating the key factors which should be considered in a justice approach to wildlife regeneration.Given the current and worsening socio-ecological crisis, rewilding initiatives are likely to increase, so this book explores how to ensure that their development is just for all, including humans and nonhumans, drawing on examples from across the globe. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of rewilding, ecological ethics and justice, environmental philosophy, biodiversity conservation and ecological restoration.

The Sublime in Modern Philosophy : Aesthetics, Ethics, and Nature
In The Sublime in Modern Philosophy: Aesthetics, Ethics, and Nature, Emily Brady takes a fresh look at the sublime and shows why it endures as a meaningful concept in contemporary philosophy.In a reassessment of historical approaches, the first part of the book identifies the scope and value of the sublime in eighteenth-century philosophy (with a focus on Kant), nineteenth-century philosophy and Romanticism, and early wilderness aesthetics.The second part examines the sublime's contemporary significance through its relationship to the arts; its position with respect to other aesthetic categories involving mixed or negative emotions, such as tragedy; and its place in environmental aesthetics and ethics.Far from being an outmoded concept, Brady argues that the sublime is a distinctive aesthetic category which reveals an important, if sometimes challenging, aesthetic-moral relationship with the natural world.

Is responsibility ethics the same as future ethics?
Responsibility ethics and future ethics are related but not the same. Responsibility ethics focuses on the moral obligations and duties that individuals and organizations have in the present moment, while future ethics considers the ethical implications of our actions on future generations and the long-term consequences of our choices. While responsibility ethics emphasizes the immediate impact of our actions, future ethics considers the broader and long-term effects of our decisions on the well-being of future generations and the sustainability of the planet. Both are important aspects of ethical decision-making, but they address different time frames and perspectives.
