Sobre IBD

Veterans are celebrated with speeches, statues, memorials, holidays, and affirmative action. They are lavishly praised in public gatherings and private conversations. Contradicting this widespread attitude, Stephen Kershnar’s Gratitude toward Veterans: A Philosophical Explanation of Why American Should Not Be Very Grateful to Veterans argues that U.S. citizens should not be very grateful to veterans.

This result matters because it requires us to give up beliefs regarding knowledge, moral responsibility, and reasons for action. ...

In particular, it argues that what people do is neither right nor wrong and that they are neither praiseworthy nor blameworthy for doing it.  Morality and moral responsibility lie at the heart of how we view the world.
