This Element provides an opinionated introduction to the debate in moral philosophy over identifying the basic elements of well-being and to the related debate over the nature of happiness. The question of the nature of happiness is simply the question of what happiness is (as opposed to what causes it or how to get it), and the central philosophical question about well-being i...(展开全部)

In Being Rational and Being Right, Juan Comesaña argues for a cluster of theses related to the rationality of action and belief. His starting point is that rational action requires rational belief but tolerates false belief. From there, Comesaña provides a novel account of empirical evidence according to which said evidence consists of the content of undefeated experiences. Thi...(展开全部)

Well-being occupies a central role in ethics and political philosophy, including in major theories such as utilitarianism. It also extends far beyond philosophy: recent studies into the science and psychology of well-being have propelled the topic to centre stage, and governments spend millions on promoting it. We are encouraged to adopt modes of thinking and behaviour that sup...(展开全部)

Grounded in the reality of the violence and abuse inherent in prostitution—and reeling from the death of a friend to prostitution in Spain—Kajsa Ekis Ekman exposes the many lies in the ‘sex work’ scenario. Trade unions aren’t trade unions. Groups for prostituted women are simultaneously groups for brothel owners. And prostitution is always presented from a woman’s point of view...(展开全部)

"What is the meaning of being?" This is the central question of Martin Heidegger's profoundly important work, in which the great philosopher seeks to explain the basic problems of existence. A central influence on later philosophy, literature, art, and criticism—as well as existentialism and much of postmodern thought— Being and Time forever changed the intellectual map of the...(展开全部)

Opposing a long-standing orthodoxy of the Western philosophical tradition running from ancient Greek thought until the late nineteenth century, Frege argued that psychological laws of thought―those that explicate how we in fact think―must be distinguished from logical laws of thought―those that formulate and impose rational requirements on thinking. Logic does not describe how ...(展开全部)

萨特（1905～1980）是法国当代最负盛名的哲学家、文学家及社会活动家。以他为代表的存在主义思潮曾风靡欧美，并在世界范围内产生了广泛影响。《存在与虚无》的发表标志着萨特独特的哲学大厦的建成，他本人最重要的思想和观点都已包容在这部洋洋洒洒，既天才横溢又有些冗长的著作中。这部书提出的新颖观点使萨特的存在主义学说与海德格尔、尼采、基尔凯郭尔迥然有别。这是一部具有原创价值的著作，与1960年发表的《辩证理性批判》一起组成萨特哲学体系的两大柱石。 法国的哲学有一个显著的特点，它和德国严谨、重思辨的学风截然不同。法国的哲学著作更带有艺术气息，它们往往十分浪漫和抒情。大哲学家如柏格森和萨特就因其文学成就而荣获诺贝尔文学奖。萨特其它的文学创作有：《墙》、《苍蝇》、《自由之路》、《魔鬼与上帝》。 萨特是个具有强烈个性的思想家，从小由于失去父亲的慈爱，变得性格孤僻。他...(展开全部)
