Specificatii
Thoreau's Living Ethics is the first full, rigorous account of
Henry Thoreau's ethical philosophy. Focused on Walden but ranging
widely across his writings, the study situates Thoreau within a
long tradition of ethical thinking in the West, from the ancients
to the Romantics and on to the present day. Philip Cafaro shows
Thoreau grappling with important ethical questions that agitated
his own society and discusses his value for those seeking to
understand contemporary ethical issues.Cafaro's particular interest
is in Thoreau's treatment of virtue ethics: the branch of ethics
centered on personal and social flourishing. Ranging across the
central elements of Thoreau's philosophy--life, virtue, economy,
solitude and society, nature, and politics--Cafaro shows Thoreau
developing a comprehensive virtue ethics, less based in ancient
philosophy than many recent efforts and more grounded in modern
life and experience. He presents Thoreau's evolutionary,
experimental ethics as superior to the more static foundational
efforts of current virtue ethicists.Another main focus is Thoreau's
environmental ethics. The book shows Thoreau not only anticipating
recent arguments for wild nature's intrinsic value, but also
demonstrating how a personal connection to nature furthers
self-development, moral character, knowledge, and creativity.
Thoreau's life and writings, argues Cafaro, present a positive,
life-affirming environmental ethics, combining respect and
restraint with an appreciation for human possibilities for
flourishing within nature.
