Book, Practical philosophy: ethics, everyday life, virtual life[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. A book in the same vein as the success Philosophy in Common With her rare ability to explain philosophical themes to the common reader, Marcia Tiburi achieved public and critical success with Philosophy in Common, released in 2008. In Practical Philosophy, Marcia shows how philosophy – presented in an accessible way – can help us reflect on our everyday decisions. Tiburi explains what ethics is and how it can be thought of in the 21st century, in which social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, give us the illusion of anonymity and at the same time eliminate the boundaries of privacy. In order to show how ethics thought by ancient philosophers, such as Plato and Spinoza, is relevant today, Marcia Tiburi selects examples from films, books, advertising, recent news and events in the political world. Marcia shows once again that it is possible to talk about complex topics in a way that everyone understands – and can apply what they learn in their lives.
