Charles Foster Reihenfolge der Bücher

Exploring the interplay between intuition and reasoning in ethics, this book engages with the ideas of prominent philosophers and psychologists, particularly Joshua Greene and Jonathan Haidt. It critiques the prevailing notion that intuition dominates moral judgments, as proposed by Haidt, while also challenging Greene's call for reason to take precedence in modern ethical dilemmas. By advocating a balanced approach, it offers fresh insights relevant to both philosophical and psychological discussions, making it a compelling read for those interested in moral reasoning.

The only biography of all the six men who flew with Guy Gibson in the RAF's most famous bomber operation, the 1943 Dambusters Raid

A fox, grown strong on pepperoni pizza from the dustbins of the East End, dances along a railway track towards Essex, the territory of wild foxes and wilder huntsmen. An orca, mourning the loss of her mother in a valley west of Skye, knows that she must now lead the pod as matriarch. She swims again through her childhood, thinking about the old ways, the old roads, laid down thousands of years ago. But the old roads aren't so easy now. At moonrise in a West Country river, an otter floats slowly downstream. The tide, though it pushes him landwards when it exhales, seems to pull him out when it inhales. He turns on his back. He can see the stars clearly for the first time and wonders if he can swim to them. The land has never stopped waiting. It has only ever been in exile, right under our noses, waiting to confound, outrage and re-enchant.

Ein poetisches Buch über die Akrobaten der Lüfte Mauersegler legen bis zu 50.000 Kilometer pro Jahr fliegend zurück, können im Flug schlafen, und wo sie sind, ist Sommer: Sie sind weitgereiste Weltenbummler; ihr Verhalten ist so faszinierend wie universell. Zwölf Monate lang folgt Charles Foster seinen Lieblingstieren. Er beobachtet, wie sie sich in Mosambik für den Flug gen Norden bereitmachen, verfolgt ihren Ritt auf dem Scirocco, der von der Sahara Richtung Mittelmeer fegt, und ihre Ankunft in Südeuropa. In England sieht er zu, wie die faszinierenden Vögel sesshaft werden und ihren Nachwuchs großziehen, um anschließend nach Afrika zurückzukehren. Eine herausragende Liebeserklärung, einfühlsam illustriert von Jonathan Pomroy. »Fosters Gabe, die Natur scharf zu beobachten und zu lesen, begeistert.« Badische Zeitung

Co to znamená být člověkem? Odpověď nenajdete v knihovnách ani v intelektuálních diskuzích, ale v dešti, blátě a nepohodlí, kdy každý pór kůže a každá buňka vašeho těla divoce křičí a žije. Charles Foster se vypravil do divočiny a zkusil žít v lesích a neolitických osadách, stejně jako kdysi naši předci.

Exploring the intersection of law and personal morality, this book delves into various legal domains such as criminal, tort, contract, family, and medical law. It critically analyzes whether current laws aim to enhance ethical behavior, the specific moral standards they uphold, their effectiveness, and the legitimacy of morality as a legal objective. Through this examination, the text raises important questions about the role of law in shaping individual ethics and the implications of moral enhancement technologies.

This is a radical new look at the Common Swift - a numerous but profoundly un- common bird - by Charles Foster, author of the New York Times Bestseller, Being a Beast. Foster follows the swifts throughout the world, manically, lyrically, yet scientifically.

A radical work of nature writing and philosophical enquiry, resituating us in our real human skins.
