Ethics Matter: Unwrapping Ethics for Beginners in the Quantum Age (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783631912928)

No matter how much we would like it to be otherwise, there are no simple straightforward solutions to moral dilemmas, nor there is a single way to approach ethical issues. Every ethical challenge can be examined from various perspectives, and thus, the outcome may vary depending on the path chosen. For centuries, philosophers have been trying to find answers to fundamental questions such as "What does it mean to be a 'good' person?" and "What should laws and norms entail ?" While these questions led to nuanced and insightful discussions attracting the attention of people from diverse aspects of life, so far there has been no absolute success in resolving them. However, by adding the tools of quantum paradigm to those of conventional philosophy, we may illuminate these complex questions. Drawing upon one of the most famous quotes attributed to Plato - "the right question is usually more important than the right answer"- the purpose of this book is not to find the "right" answers. Instead, it seeks to offer the kind of insight that is drawn from behavioral science and the wisdom of influential philosophers throughout centuries. The book is crafted to guide readers in exploring ethics through some important philosophers, social psychological experiments, and ethical codes. This book will ensure that what answers you might arrive at the end will be built on a more solid foundation than before.
