Values: Why We Need Them Although They Don’t Exist de Andreas Urs Sommer

Values: Why We Need Them Although They Don’t Exist

Autor Andreas Urs Sommer Traducere de Paul Richards
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 dec 2023
In his book, Andreas Urs Sommer reflects on the question of what it really means when everybody’s appealing to values, all the time – the question, fundamentally, of what values actually are. Values explores both of these points, arriving at two intriguing suggestions: Maybe what we call values are just a set of elaborate fictions. And maybe those fictions serve some very important purposes.
