Morality, Self Knowledge and Human Suffering: An Essay on The Loss of Confidence in the World - Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy
Josep Corbi
In this wholly original study, Josep Corbi asks how one should relate to a certain kind of human suffering, namely, the harm that people cause one another. Relying upon real life examples of human suffering--including torture, genocide, and warfare--as opposed to thought experiments, Corbi proposes a novel approach to self-knowledge that runs counter to standard Kantian approaches to morality.
