PARUTION : « Les raisons et les personnes » de Derek Parfit !
Première traduction française de l’œuvre majeure du « Kant du XXe siècle ». Grâce à une argumentation tout autant inventive que minutieuse, le philosophe met en question nombre de nos idées sur la rationalité, l’éthique ou bien encore la nature des personnes et de nos obligations envers les générations futures.

Was morality objective? This question was the focus of philosopher Derek Parfit's work. In this Ideas article, Parfit biographer Dave Edmonds explores how it affected Parfit during his lifetime. https://princeton.press/lrgil4

The nonidentity problem is when you were expecting #Adorno, but what you're actually getting is #Parfit

The latest *Very Bad Wizards* episode is on Parfit's essay on Personal Identity. It's always a goodun when Dave and Tamler clash because of D's more rationalist inclinations and T's resistance to bow to the Analytic phil-bros.

It made me miss the early days where they would really go at it

It also has this pearl which reads great out of context "if they sit and think about it, they'd be like, oh shit, it is a holocaust of #StarTrek characters" 😆
