Philosophy Now Magazine June-July 2021 Zurück Ausgabe

When it comes to morality, every age has its own characteristic concerns and controversies. Issue 144 examines a few very modern moral problems in the light of some ideas from philosophy’s long history. So we bring you racism and Stoicism; election meddling and just war theory; animal rights and personhood; social protest movements and Axel Honneth’s recognition theory; fat shaming and self-definition.

Also in this issue, thrill to the brilliant colours of phenomenology on the beach; wonder at Leibniz’s belief in unicorns and find out why Casablanca could have been Kierkegaard’s favourite movie. Plus Moran on bicycles, Tallis on Laws of Nature, Adamson on Evil, and an interview with Prof. Martin Savransky on Pragmatism and the pluriverse. Read this issue to become a modern moralist, and enjoy the thrill of telling people what to do!
