Cover of Otfried Höffe: Die Macht der Moral im 21. Jahrhundert (PDF)

Otfried Höffe zeigt, daß Fragen zu Ethik und moralischem Handeln immer wieder neu gestellt werden müssen: Steht der Mensch wirklich über allen anderen Lebewesen? Können Tiere denken? Sind hohe Managergehälter vertretbar? Wozu dürfen technische und medizinische Errungenschaften eingesetzt werden und wozu nicht?
Höffe versucht, darauf Antworten zu finden – ohne unverständliche Terminologie und vor allem ohne moralischen Zeigefinger.
