Product Description
While in ancient and medieaval philosophy, love was of central importance for the justification of morality, since the early modern period it has largely been pushed into the philosophical-ethical sidelines by Reason. The author examines the role and significance of love in the foundation of normative ethics. To this end she critically discusses the positions of Max Scheler and Robert Spaemann, who developed modern ethics of personal love and affection in the 20th century. She comes to the conclusion that there does exist a primal, alogical form of love, reflected by reason and yet anticipating all reflection. It is accompanied by a positive opening up of the sense of reality, and is able to give thought and volition an ultimate horizon which must be the point of departure for any serious ethical and not mere strategic reflection.

Diserves its.. existence
I recommend, buy this book even if you have no relation with any photographic profession. Represents Hellas (populary known as greece) in one of the best ways ever. Antiquities, blue skies (prints are duotones, but colors you can imagine them),and some people living in areas of Hellenic country. The shots took place only a few time before 2nd world war, by the german photographer Herbert List. He wandered almost all over Hellas (or at least in most important hellenic temples of modern Hellenic Antiquity (5-15 centuries before christ.)--- --- --- If you live under Acropoli in Athina, Parthenonas is a building like all the others...because you see it everyday. If you see it on these pictures..you will be surprised by its glory far more.
PS.I have to mention that in greece's biggest bookstore I was unable to buy this cheaper edition...even after trying to order it..and they could supply me only with the hard cover version of 65euro. Isn't it a pity..isn't it a shame...? Besides...it is about Hellas. ... Read more
