The Debunker
Many of the modern theories, are viewed as facts, when in actuality, they are just educated guesses, from times, more technologically challenged.. People assume that the theories, are a given, and should be accepted by all. Its considered politically unacceptable, to disagree with their assumptions, when in actuality, its unhealthy, to always agree, and become, close minded.. In the book The Debunker, I use logic, to disprove several popular theories. Sometimes, do to modern day prejudices, my views may seem controversial, at fi rst, but with careful consideration, you will see, that it is really the politically correct stance, that is controversial. The Theories of Einstein, and Darwin, along with ones in the fi elds of geology, psychology, anthropology and theology, along with several other theories (many that are not considered controversial, and are considered to be facts), are debunked., with basic logic. I have also included witty phrases, and sensible advise, on how to live a good life. Its just a little book, that I wrote, to help people live more heavenly, enlightened, lives. I hope you enjoy it, and prosper from it, too.

Schopenhauer’s Moral Philosophy
This volume brings together internationally recognised Schopenhauer scholars to develop new perspectives on his moral philosophy. Despite anticipating and engaging with many of the arguments now recognisable in Anglophone moral philosophy, Arthur Schopenhauer has often been overlooked as a potential contributor to contemporary discourse within this domain. Not only was he one of the most important 19th-century critics of Kantian deontology, Schopenhauer also developed a plausible moral system of his own grounded in compassion. While interesting parallels can be drawn between his system and the sentimentalist tradition familiar from the likes of Hume and Hutcheson, Schopenhauer’s idiosyncratic metaphysics provide a unique approach to standard questions in moral psychology, the philosophy of action, axiology, and moral epistemology. The chapters in this book draw out the relevance and influence of Schopenhauer’s ethical program, attempting to demonstrate the as yet untapped wealth of conceptual resources for pressing moral problems. They address a wide range of topics, including: the moral status of animals; the moral permissibility of suicide; the possibility of altruistic action; the nature of virtue and asceticism; how Schopenhauer integrated Western influences with various Indian traditions of moral thinking, and more. Schopenhauer’s Moral Philosophy will be of interest to scholars and advanced students interested in Schopenhauer, 19th-century philosophy, and the history of ethics.
