  • Can Planning Replace Politics?
    Much hope has been placed in the potential of planning to solve social and economic problems. In the East ~nd the West, in devel­ oped and less-developed countries, planning has become widespread.

  • Motivation and the Moral Sense in Francis Hutcheson’s Ethical Theory
    Henning Jensen
    Although the works of Francis Hutcheson are unfamiliar to most students of philosophy, it cannot be said that he has been entirely ignored. To be sure, most of the recent writers who deal with Hutcheson’s philosophy do so in the course of writing about Hutcheson’s famous contemporary, David Hume. This is true, for example, of Norman Kemp Smith, whose ...

  • Ends and Principles in Kant’s Moral Thought
    John E. Atwell
    Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) stands among the greatest thinkers of the Western world.

  • Contemporary Issues in Biomedical Ethics
    Barry Hoffmaster / John W. Davis / Sarah J. Shorten
    Not long ago, a colleague chided me for using the term 'the biological revolution.

  • John of the Cross and the Cognitive Value of Mysticism
    S. Payne
    Among Anglo-American philosophers, interest in mysticism has typically been limited to the question of whether or not mystical and religious experi­ ences provide evidence for, or knowledge of, the existence and nature of God. Most authors conclude that they do not, because such experiences lack certain qualities needed in order to be counted as cogni...

  • Gabriel Marcel’s Ethics of Hope
    Jill Graper Hernandez
    The idea of hope has received significant attention in the political sphere recently. But is hope just wishful thinking, or can it be something more than a political catch-phrase? This book argues that hope can be understood existentially, or on the basis of what it means to be human.
