The Fragility of Goodness by Martha C. Nussbaum
Varebeskrivelse
Stand: Brugt - men i god stand
Emne: Humaniora
A classic work of philosophy, The Fragility of Goodness explores the ethical dimensions of human life through the lens of ancient Greek tragedy and philosophy. In this profound and thought-provoking book, Martha C. Nussbaum investigates the tension between human vulnerability, moral luck, and the pursuit of virtue, drawing on works by key Greek philosophers like Aristotle and key tragedians like Sophocles.
Nussbaum argues that the fragility of human goodness—our capacity for flourishing, moral achievement, and happiness—lies in our exposure to forces beyond our control. These forces, such as bad luck and unpredictable circumstances, challenge our understanding of moral responsibility and the limits of human agency.
This second revised edition, published by Cambridge University Press, includes a new preface by the author, further enriching this groundbreaking work of scholarship. Essential for students of philosophy, ethics, and classical studies, as well as anyone interested in the human condition, The Fragility of Goodness invites readers to reflect on the nature of the good life and our capacity to pursue it in a world full of uncertainty.
