About This Item
Crows Nest NSW: Allen & Unwin, 2008. Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. vi 274 pagers, indexed, annotated. The book has been covered in contact, else clean, unmarked and solid."In this book, Clive Hamilton forms a radical reconsideration of the meaning of freedom in the modern world, and a proposal for what he calls a "post-secular ethics"--an ethics to supercede the mores of the post-1968 Western world. Despite all of the personal and political freedoms we now enjoy in the West, Clive argues that our "inner freedom," our very human capacity for considered will and the very ethical basis of our society, has been compromised by our relentless focus on impulse and immediate gratification. Drawing on the great metaphysical philosophers Kant and Schopenhauer, Hamilton develops a new theory of morality for our times. He argues that true inner freedom and acting according to moral law are one and the same, and essential to reaching psychological maturity." (publisher)
