The Geography of Morals(Reprint)
Varieties of Moral Possibility
by Owen Flanagan

ISBN-13: 978-0-19-094286-1, ISBN: 0-19-094286-X

Paperback, 280 Pages, Published 2013 by A Bradford Book
ISBN-13: 978-0-262-52520-6, ISBN: 0-262-52520-8

"If we are material beings living in a material world -- and all the scientific evidence suggests that we are -- then we must find existential meaning, if there is such a thing, in this physical world. We must cast our lot with the natural rather than the supernatural. Many Westerners with spiritual (but not religious) inclinations are attracted to Buddhism -- almost as a ki ..."

Neuroexistentialism
Meaning, Morals, and Purpose in the Age of Neuroscience
by Owen Flanagan, Gregg Caruso, G. F.
Paperback, 392 Pages, Published 2018 by Oxford University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-046073-0, ISBN: 0-19-046073-3

"Existentialisms arise when the foundations of being, such as meaning, morals, and purpose come under assault. In the first-wave of existentialism, writings typified by Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, and Nietzsche concerned the increasingly apparent inability of religion, and religious tradition, to support a foundation of being. Second-wave existentialism, personified philosophically by Sartre, Camus, and de Beauvoir, developed in response to ..."

Hardcover, 416 Pages, Published 2018 by Columbia University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-231-18298-0, ISBN: 0-231-18298-8

"The idea that the self is inextricably intertwined with the rest of the world―the “oneness hypothesis”―can be found in many of the world’s philosophical and religious traditions. Oneness provides ways to imagine and achieve a more expansive conception of the self as fundamentally connected with other people, creatures, and things. Such views present profound challenges to Western hyperindividualism and its excessive concern with self-in ..."
