📗 Libro en inglés MAKING SENSE: PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THE HEADLINES

Making Sense Examines The Philosophical Issues And Disputes That Lie Behind The News Headlines Of The Day. We Read About What Is Happening In The World, But How Do We Know What The Truth Is, Or Whether There Is One "Truth" At All? A President Has His Private Sexual Affairs Discussed And Analyzed By Everyone, But Is The Private Life Of Anyone The Proper Moral Concern Of Others? A War Against Terrorism Is Declared, But What Justifies The Use Of Armed Forces With Its Inevitable Loss Of Life? Making Sense Draws Out These Philosophical Disputes And Shows How We Can Use The Techniques Of Philosophy And The Insights Of Its Greatest Practitioners To Understand The Issues Behind The Headlines Better.
