Grayling A. C. Title : Ragionando su Dio. Argomenti contro la religione e a favore dell'umanismo
Author: Grayling A. C.
Publisher: Nessun dogma

C'è un grande dibattito nel mondo contemporaneo intorno alle argomentazioni a favore o contro la religione. Apologeti e scettici si confrontano in maniera appassionata per difendere credenze radicate e profonde convinzioni. Quest'opera è una disamina in chiave laica degli argomenti a supporto della fede. Un'indagine approfondita, incisiva ma pacata, che tiene presenti i motivi che hanno le persone per aderire a una religione, ma che espone alternative ragionevoli, ben riassumendo le principali posizioni laico-umaniste. Grayling non offre solo argomenti razionali contro l'esistenza di Dio, ma si impegna a presentare in maniera costruttiva un'alternativa etica alla religione. In questa brillante esposizione del punto di vista umanista Grayling delinea una visione del mondo e un fondamento per la moralità che ci emancipa dalle antiche strutture di potere della religione.

Grayling A. C. Title : Among the Dead Cities
Author: Grayling A. C.
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA Academic

Is it ever right to target civilians in a time of war? Or do the ends sometimes justify the means? The twentieth century - the age of 'total war' - marked the first time that civilian populations came to be seen as legitimate military targets. At this policy's most terrible extreme came the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki but it is an issue that remains relevant today with the needs of the 'War on Terror' used to justify the use of drone strikes. In Amongst the Dead Cities, A.C. Grayling explores these moral issues in all their complexity with a detailed examination of the Allied bombing of German cities during World War 2. Considering the cases for and against the area bombing and the experiences of the bombed and the bombers, Grayling asks: was the targeting of civilians in Germany a crime? Now available in the Bloomsbury Revelations series, the book includes a new afterword by the author considering the issues in light of later conflicts up to the present day.

Grayling A. C. Title : Towards the Light
Author: Grayling A. C.
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA Academic

In Towards the Light, A.C. Grayling tells the story of the long and difficult battle for freedom in the West, from the Reformation to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, from the battle for the vote to the struggle for the right to freedom of conscience. As Grayling passionately affirms, it is a story - and a struggle - that continues to this day as those in power use the threat of terrorism in the 21st century to roll-back the liberties that so many have fought and died to win for us. Including an appendix of landmark documents, including the British and American Bills of Rights and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, the Bloomsbury Revelations edition also includes a new preface by the author reflecting on developments since the book's original publication.

Grayling A.c. Title : The God Argument
Author: Grayling A.c.
Publisher: Bloomsbury Pub Plc USA

Examining all the arguments for and against religion and religious belief--across the range of reasons and motives that people have for being religious and how they stand up to scrutiny--The God Argument is a landmark book in the ongoing debate about the place of religion and secularism in our world.

While A. C. Grayling is a clear critic of religion as a guiding force, unlike some of religion's opponents, he carefully considers the various arguments for the existence of God and the many reasons people believe in a deity. More important, he then offers a powerful alternative to religion as a world-view--humanism--an approach to life for those who wish to live with intellectual integrity, based on reason, evidence, and a desire to do and be good, and one which does not interfere with people's rights to their own beliefs and freedom of expression.

Humanism, as Grayling reveals it, is an ethics of sympathy and tolerance based on the best endeavor to make sense of human nature and the human condition. Though humanism recognizes why the various faiths first arose, it nevertheless argues that organized religion should no longer be given a privileged position in society.

Thoughtfully provocative, intellectually expansive, The God Argument makes a powerful case that secular belief, free of religious dogma, allows for a much more compassionate and caring worldview.

Grayling A. C. Title : Friendship
Author: Grayling A. C.
Publisher: Yale Univ Pr

A central bond, a cherished value, a unique relationship, a profound human need, a type of love. What is the nature of friendship, and what is its significance in our lives? How has friendship changed since the ancient Greeks began to analyze it, and how has modern technology altered its very definition? In this fascinating exploration of friendship through the ages, one of the most thought-provoking philosophers of our time tracks historical ideas of friendship, gathers a diversity of friendship stories from the annals of myth and literature, and provides unexpected insights into our friends, ourselves, and the role of friendships in an ethical life.
A. C. Grayling roves the rich traditions of friendship in literature, culture, art, and philosophy, bringing into his discussion familiar pairs as well as unfamiliar?Achilles and Patroclus, David and Jonathan, Coleridge and Wordsworth, Huck Finn and Jim. Grayling lays out major philosophical interpretations of friendship, then offers his own take, drawing on personal experiences and an acute awareness of vast cultural shifts that have occurred. With penetrating insight he addresses internet-based friendship, contemporary mixed gender friendships, how friendships may supersede family relationships, one’s duty within friendship, the idea of friendship to humanity, and many other topics of universal interest.

Grayling A. C. Title : The God Argument
Author: Grayling A. C.
Publisher: Bloomsbury Pub Plc USA

What are the arguments for and against religion and religious belief--all of them--right across the range of reasons and motives that people have for being religious, and do they stand up to scrutiny? Can there be a clear, full statement of these arguments that once and for all will show what is at stake in this debate?

Equally important: what is the alternative to religion as a view of the world and a foundation for morality? Is there a worldview and a code of life for thoughtful people--those who wish to live with intellectual integrity, based on reason, evidence, and a desire to do and be good--that does not interfere with people's right to their own beliefs and freedom of expression?

In The Case Against Religion, Anthony Grayling offers a definitive examination of these questions, and an in-depth exploration of the humanist outlook that recommends itself as the ethics of the genuinely reflective person.

Grayling A. C. Title : Il buon libro. Una Bibbia laica
Author: Grayling A. C.
Publisher: Ponte alle Grazie

"Il Buon Libro" è un libro certamente unico al mondo. Esso intende "aiutare e guidare, consigliare, informare, ammonire e consolare, e soprattutto sostenere la luce della mente e del cuore dell'uomo contro le ombre della vita", ispirandosi in questo alla Bibbia cristiana ed ebraica, al Corano e agli altri libri sacri delle grandi religioni. Ma a differenza di quelli, "non esige l'accettazione di un credo o l'obbedienza a ordini, non impone obblighi né minaccia castighi". E nato com'è nata la Bibbia: componendo e modificando testi scritti in un lungo lasso di tempo - nel caso del "Buon Libro", tremila anni circa. Ma la Bibbia fu messa insieme da moltissime mani: il "Buon Libro" dal solo Anthony C. Grayling, fra i più apprezzati e popolari filosofi inglesi. I quattordici libri che lo costituiscono - dalla Genesi ai Canti, dalle Parabole alle Epistole, dalle Consolazioni a Il bene - sono letteralmente "fatti" da oltre mille testi, di parecchie centinaia di autori fra i maggiori saggi, letterati artisti d'Occidente e d'Oriente, dall'antichità fino alle soglie del Novecento. Grayling ha distillato i loro insegnamenti, le loro intuizioni, i loro consigli, le loro vicende umane, le loro tragedie, i loro desideri, il loro amore e il loro dolore in una sola Bibbia, umanista e laica. In un'epoca in cui a molti le religioni non sono più in grado di parlare, e la filosofia parla a pochi e si occupa poco della vita, "Il Buon Libro" è un libro per tutti.

Grayling A. C. Title : The Good Book
Author: Grayling A. C.
Publisher: Walker & Co

Few, if any, thinkers and writers today would have the imagination, the breadth of knowledge, the literary skill, and—yes—the audacity to conceive of a powerful, secular alternative to the Bible. But that is exactly what A.C. Grayling has done by creating a non-religious Bible, drawn from the wealth of secular literature and philosophy in both Western and Eastern traditions, using the same techniques of editing, redaction, and adaptation that produced the holy books of the Judaeo-Christian and Islamic religions. The Good Book consciously takes its design and presentation from the Bible, in its beauty of language and arrangement into short chapters and verses for ease of reading and quotability, offering to the non-religious seeker all the wisdom, insight, solace, inspiration, and perspective of secular humanist traditions that are older, far richer and more various than Christianity. Organized in 12 main sections----Genesis, Histories, Widsom, The Sages, Parables, Consolations, Lamentations, Proverbs, Songs, Epistles, Acts, and the Good----The Good Book opens with meditations on the origin and progress of the world and human life in it, then devotes attention to the question of how life should be lived, how we relate to one another, and how vicissitudes are to be faced and joys appreciated. Incorporating the writing of Herodotus and Lucretius, Confucius and Mencius, Seneca and Cicero, Montaigne, Bacon, and so many others, The Good Book will fulfill its audacious purpose in every way.

Stendhal, Lewis Sophie (INT), Grayling A. C. (FRW) Title : On Love
Author: Stendhal, Lewis Sophie (INT), Grayling A. C. (FRW)
Publisher: Hesperus Pr

Inspired by his unrequited passion for the Countess Dembowska, Stendhal brings together logical, clear-sighted analysis with all-consuming emotion to remarkable effect in this unique treatise. Stendhal begins his study by classifying the different types of love?romantic, passionate, or courtly?and then muses on the causes of love's birth. He identifies the seven stages of falling in love and proffers wise advice for the ardent lover on a variety of topics, including how to ?crystallize” the object of one's desire. Yet beneath these clever philosophical musings, Stendhal makes a desperate attempt to reconcile and dispel his own tortured emotions.

Grayling uses as the starting point of his discussion that reveals how much more people can understand about themselves and their world by reflecting on today's moral challenges. Above all, he explores the idea that certain demands and certain pleasures are necessary, not just because of their intrinsic merits but because of what they do for each other.

Grayling A. C. Title : La scelta di Ercole. Come condurre una buona vita
Author: Grayling A. C.
Publisher: Longanesi

Nella tradizione occidentale l'indagine sulla morale affonda le sue radici nella riflessione socratica, in particolare nella domanda che il filosofo ateniese poneva ai suoi concittadini: come si dovrebbe vivere? Nel corso dei secoli il dibattito si è polarizzato intorno all'alternativa tra "bella vita" e "buona vita", dicotomia incarnata dal mito di Ercole e dalla scelta che l'eroe deve compiere tra Piacere e Dovere. Ma tale antitesi, secondo A.C. Grayling, è solo apparente, frutto di una distorsione alimentata dalla fede religiosa, soprattutto dal cristianesimo, e più in generale dall'approccio morale coercitivo che mortifica l'individuo. In realtà una buona vita, quella che ciascuno di noi auspica per sé, non può e non deve fuggire la bellezza, il piacere e l'appagamento. Si tratta allora, secondo Grayling, di adottare un approccio laico e umanistico che consenta a ogni individuo di costruire la propria buona vita, nel duplice significato di "vita preziosa (che ha un valore reale per chi la vive) e vita piacevole (caratterizzata da affetto, risate, conquiste e bellezza)". E tuttavia non si può vivere al meglio senza un appropriato contesto sociale e politico. Di qui, l'esigenza di affrontare anche temi e problemi centrali nel mondo contemporaneo: il sesso, la famiglia, l'educazione, il ruolo della scienza, la malattia e la "buona morte", così come i rapporti internazionali, la guerra e i suoi crimini, i limiti della tolleranza.

Grayling A. C. Title : Al cuore delle cose. Una guida filosofica per l'uomo d'oggi
Author: Grayling A. C.
Publisher: Longanesi

"Tutti desiderano un'esistenza soddisfacente e appagante, nella quale ci sia spazio per il piacere e il successo e che si guadagni il rispetto di coloro da cui vale la pena di essere rispettati. Una tal vita aggiunge valore sia all'esperienza di chi la vive, sia al mondo in cui quella persona si trova. Aggiungere valore alle cose comporta che si facciano buone scelte. Per fare buone scelte, occorre essere ben informati e saper riflettere..." Grayling, con la consueta capacità di rendere comprensibili temi filosofici complessi, presenta una serie di riflessioni filosofiche sull'etica quotidiana. Il volume raggruppa gli interventi in tre parti: sulla vita personale, sulla vita pubblica, sulle idee.

Grayling A. C. Title : Descartes
Author: Grayling A. C.
Publisher: St Martins Pr

Scientist, mathematician, traveler, soldier--and spy--Rene Descartes was one of the founders of the modern world. His life coincided with an extraordinary time in history: the first half of the miraculous seventeenth century, replete with genius in the arts and sciences, and wracked by civil and international conflicts across Europe. But at his birth in 1596 the world was still dominated by medieval beliefs in phenomena such as miracles and spontaneous generation. It was Descartes who identified the intellectual tools his peers needed to free themselves from the grip of religious authority and in doing so he founded modern philosophy.
In this new biography, A. C. Grayling tells the story of Descartes' life, and places it in his tumultuous times--with the unexpected result that an entirely new aspect of the story comes to light.

Grayling A. C. Title : Una storia del bene. Alla riscoperta di un'etica laica
Author: Grayling A. C.
Publisher: edizioni Dedalo

In questo libro l'autore esamina le principali risposte che la storia ha fornito alla ricerca del bene, dall'antichità classica fino a oggi. L'autore si concentra su due concezioni molto diverse della "vita buona": da una parte la prospettiva genericamente laica, radicata nell'attenzione verso la natura e la condizione umana; dall'altra la prospettiva trascendentale, che colloca la fonte dei valori morali al di fuori dell'uomo. Nel mondo moderno, plasmato dallo sviluppo della scienza a partire dal XVII secolo, le due concezioni si sono fronteggiate in un conflitto sempre più aspro, che giunge fino ai nostri giorni manifestandosi come uno dei principali problemi del nostro tempo.
