Sexual ethics has historically been a bleak landscape of three false alternatives - resist, abstain, or indiscriminately indulge. In Eros and Ethos, philosopher Jason Stotts presents a radical, new alternative in which sex is an ethically important part of a rich human life. He shows how sex is a significant expression of our character, because sex arises out of the deepest and most fundamental parts of who we are.

The vast majority of theft, extortion, intimidation, harassment, assault, and even murder - in other words, the vast majority of man's inhumanity to man - comes not from the greed, hatred and intolerance that lurks in our hearts.

Hinckley, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, one cannot lose hope.

Il primo manuale che racconta, ispirandosi alla filosofia antica e usando esercizi pratici, come trovare la strada per trovare il cuore di noi stessi. E così fiorire. La filosofia non è solo teoria, ma nasce come pratica trasformativa che aiuta a comprendere se stessi e il mondo. Questa è stata la filosofia antica, che ha elaborato una serie di esercizi e strumenti semplici eppure potentissimi, che ancora oggi risultano efficaci. Servono indicazioni botaniche per compiere una sana fioritura personale, che diventi infine una fioritura collettiva, in un tempo come il nostro.

En estos días de preocupación más que justificada por una pandemia letal se oyen a menudo dos preguntas: ¿saldremos de ésta? y ¿qué habremos aprendido para el futuro? Y sí, saldremos de ésta, aunque muchos quedarán -o quedaremos- por el camino, porque todas las epidemias se han superado mal que bien.
