₨ 3,083What is right? What is wrong? How do we decide? To a remarkable extent, our decision-making is determined by the origins of the ethical ideas that we employ and the history of their development. A Short History of Ethics is widely acknowledged as the perfect introduction to the subject, presenting in concise form an insightful yet exceptionally complete history of moral philosophy in the west from the Greeks to contemporary times. In clear and readable prose Alasdair MacIntyre, one of the finest living philosophers, leads the reader towards a greater understanding of what lies behind our ethical decisions.

BEAST AND MAN
₨ 3,083Philosophers have traditionally concentrated on the qualities that make human beings different from other species. In Beast and Man Mary Midgley, one of our foremost intellectuals, stresses continuities. What makes people tick? Largely, she asserts, the same things as animals. She tells us humans are rather more like other animals than we previously allowed ourselves to believe, and reminds us just how primitive we are in comparison to the sophistication of many animals. A veritable classic for our age, Beast and Man has helped change the way we think about ourselves and the world in which we live.

CONDITION OF LOVE
₨ 725An alluring, thoughtful reflection on why falling in love is never enough—even though we wish it could be. Gleaning surprisingly practical insights from sources as diverse as Dante, St. Augustine, and Jane Austen, John Armstrong lends a philosopher’s expansive insight and his own personal humor to the often over sentimentalized topic of love. This charming, intellectual discussion considers why we are so keenly fascinated with the rhapsodic initial phase of “falling in love,” even though what we most desire is lasting, long-term love—an emotionally involved relationship not only between lovers but also among friends and family. Armstrong’s exploration of the awkward transition from romantic passion to mature love captures characteristic moments in the unfolding experience of intimacy, such as recognition, imagination, flirtation, infatuation, happiness, and, of course, sex. He traces the influential ideas—from Plato to Freud, via Stendhal and Tolstoy, through evolutionary psychology and Woody Allen’s psyche—that have shaped the conditions and expectations that we carry as lovers today. Ultimately, Armstrong’s accessible, witty musings deliver the optimistically lighthearted message of carpe diem.
