An Idiosyncratic Ethics; Or, the Lauramachean Ethics
Series: - Value Inquiry Book Series, Volume: 9
Author:
This book is an original synthesis of four elements: (1) the phenomenology of value, (2) caring, (3) the moral imagination, and (4) Kant's formula of humanity. The striking result is an ethics of caring that develops our shared humanity. The probing analysis and pungent argument are assisted by imaginative forms of dialogue, narration, and parable. This lively contribution to our ethical fulfillment concludes with a case for student-centered education that is democratic, creative and caring.
”…original, provocative, and entertaining. By disregarding conventional modes of philosophical expression, Miller proceeds idiosyncratically, tearing through platitudes and reaching insight that only a radical approach may afford. …Miller’s ethics is a hybrid between the idealistic flare of Kant’s moral absolutism and Sartre’s decree of radical freedom, with the caustic bite of Nietzsche.” in: The Journal of Value Inquiry 31 (1997), 575-578
