In doing so, it also engages with Murdoch's ideas about the existence of a moral reality, the importance of love, and the necessity but also the difficulty, for most of us, of fighting against our natural self-centred tendencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy is attention important to morality? This book argues that many moral failures and moral achievements can be explained by attention. Not only our actions and choices, but the possibilities we choose among, and even the meaning of what we perceive, are to a large extent determined by \u003ci\u003ewhether\u003c\/i\u003e we pay attention, and \u003ci\u003ewhat\u003c\/i\u003e we attend to. In this way, the book argues that attention is fundamental, though often overlooked, in morality. While the book's discussion of attention revolves primarily around Murdoch's thought, it also engages significantly with Simone Weil, who introduced the concept of attention in a spiritual context. The book also engages with contemporary debates concerning moral perception and motivation, empirical psychology, animal ethics, and Buddhist philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Ethics of Attention \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of interest to researchers and advanced students working on Iris Murdoch, Simone Weil, ethics and moral psychology, and the philosophy of attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Silvia Caprioglio Panizza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367759568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilvia Caprioglio Panizza \u003c\/strong\u003eis Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow at the Centre for Ethics, University of Pardubice, and Teaching Fellow at the Centre for Ethics in Public Life, School of Philosophy, University College Dublin, where she is a member of PEriTiA (Horizon 2020).
