By undertaking this comprehensive analysis, Arash Abizadeh aims to challenge prevailing interpretations of Hobbes and his historical significance. Through his meticulous research, Abizadeh unveils the fundamental distinction that underpins Hobbes' ethical framework: the divide between prudential reasons of the good, articulated through natural laws that prescribe the means of self-preservation, and reasons of the right or justice, encompassing contractual obligations that we owe to others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbizadeh demonstrates how this distinction marks a pivotal moment in the transition from the ancient Greek to the modern conception of ethics. He further highlights the relevance of Hobbes' thought to ongoing debates surrounding normativity, reasons, and responsibility. This book appeals to a wide range of scholars, including Hobbes enthusiasts, historians of ethics, moral philosophers, and political theorists. By delving into the depth of Hobbes' philosophy, Abizadeh offers a fresh perspective that sheds light on his profound contributions to the field of ethics and his enduring influence on contemporary thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 446g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 228 x 20 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781108404877                            \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: New ed                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ArashAbizadeh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095022235898,"sku":"9781108404877","price":30.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/bb437ec0f908325bfed59d0d50c0e8d7.jpg?v=1638938310","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/hobbes-and-the-two-faces-of-ethics","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
