Between Fixed and Fickle
Why Our Moral Views Keep ChangingKilling and cheating seem obviously wrong, yet such moral infractions are common. So is morality selfish or irrational? “No,” says psychologist Audun Dahl. Moral views are not permanently fixed, but neither are they fickle. Research shows that when people alter their moral views, they do so because they see good reasons for change.

The Main Enterprise of the World
Rethinking EducationA towering achievement, worthy of a place beside the classic works of John Dewey, J. S. Mill, and Rabindranath Tagore. Kitcher's radical and compelling idea is that contemporary societies have been designing education to suit jobs that currently exist, when instead we should be imagining an education system that serves the needs of personal fulfillment and interactive democratic citizenship, and designing other social institutions to support those goals. This is ideal theory in the very best sense: a clear-eyed road map of a difficult destination, together with practical proposals for reaching it, articulated with both clarity and an inclusive love of human beings.

The Rich and the Poor
“The Rich and the Poor argues that neoliberalism, among its other sins, has brought an ‘erosion of kindness.’ Kitcher proposes a program of ‘ethical enquiry’ that will restore ethics to policy, and that will bring an end to poverty, just as ethical enquiry once brought an end to slavery. A passionate and persuasive book.”Professor Sir Angus Deaton, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences, Princeton University"It was once common to hold that we have a moral obligation to take from the rich to help the poor. Philip Kitcher’s latest book explains how that assumption has been replaced by a supposedly neutral attention to economic efficiency. Far from being neutral, this focus actually reveres cheap consumer products as the highest good. Against those who call themselves political realists, Kitcher argues for a return to moral idealism. With clarity and compassion, The Rich and the Poor shows how we might return ethical deliberation to political economy. This book should be read far and wide by anyone who cares about politics, economics, or morality; its message could hardly be more timely.”Susan Neiman, Director of the Einstein Forum, Potsdam, and author of Left Is Not Woke "A powerful call for pursuing an idealistic, hopeful path towards moral progress and social justice."Kai Spiekermann, Department of Government, London School of Economics “A courageous act of philosophical defiance, The Rich and the Poor asks that we reinsert ethics into politics and rethink science policy in a way that is accurate to the science and painstakingly aware of the complex interplay among economics, politics, and democratic institutions.” Los Angeles Review of Books"Kitcher's method of ethical inquiry is a promising idea for addressing problems of inequality in the world. If it were applied widely and consistently today, it would certainly produce better results than the status quo."Populism

Wie begründet Kitcher seine Kollektivität?
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2023 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Sonstiges, Note: 2,0, Freie Universität Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Hausarbeit handelt von der Konzeption der Kollektivität in Philip Kitchers Fortschrittsidee. Kitcher ist ein Philosoph, der sich in seiner Arbeit "Über den Fortschritt" mit dem Fortschrittsgedanken auseinandersetzt und dabei versucht, eine ganzheitliche Perspektive auf den Fortschritt zu entwickeln, die verschiedene Bereiche der menschlichen Tätigkeit umfasst. Dabei untersucht er Fortschritt in den Bereichen der Naturwissenschaft, der Ethik und der Gesellschaft als einer sozialen Gemeinschaft.Sein Ansatz basiert auf einer pragmatischen Fortschrittsidee, die Probleme und Ziele von einem gegebenen Punkt aus erkennen soll und versucht diese zu beheben und zu erreichen. Im Zentrum von Kitchers Konzeption steht die Idee, dass kollektives Handeln und Zusammenarbeit eine wesentliche Rolle für die Ermöglichung von Fortschritt spielen. Somit ist Fortschritt nicht das Werk einzelner Individuen, sondern entsteht durch die Zusammenarbeit und den Wissensaustausch zwischen Gruppen von Menschen, die sich auf ein gemeinsames Ziel einigen.
