| Description: |
The book provides the reader with an overview of Aurel Kolnai's moral and political philosophy. It contains essays written by Kolnai on a wide range of topics and by others on the various aspects of his philosophy. His main political theoretical work, What is Politics About will be available in English here for the first time. |
| Synopsis: |
Aurel Kolnai was born in Budapest in 1900 and died in London in 1973. He was, according to Karl Popper and the late Bernard Williams, one of the most original, provocative, and sensitive philosophers of the twentieth century. Kolnai's moral philosophy is best described in his own words as "intrinsicalist, non-naturalist, non-reductionist," which took its original impetus from Scheler's value ethics, and was developed by using a natural phenomenologist method. The unique combination of linguistic analysis and phenomenology yields highly original ideas on classical fields of moral theory, such as responsibility and free will, the meaning of right and wrong, the universalisabilty of ethical norms, the role of moral emotions and internalism vs. externalism, to mention a few |
