Morality, Self Knowledge and Human Suffering: An Essay on the Loss of Confidence in the World

by Josep Corbi and Josep E. Corbí

Book Overview

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.
