Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Is moral goodness really so desirable in the way that its proponents through the ages would like us tobelieve For instance, in our time, there is even this latest version of the popular moral idea shared bymany, when Dalai Lama suggested that '[w]e need these human values [of compassion andaffection].Even without religion,.we have the capacity to promote these things.' (WK 2009)The naivety of this popular moral idea can be contrasted with an opposing (critical) idea advocated not longago by Sigmund Freud (1966), who once wrote that 'men are not gentle creatures who want to be lovedand who at the most can defend themselves if they are attacked; they are, on the contrary, creatures amongwhose instinctual endowments is to be reckoned a powerful share of aggressiveness. As a result, theirneighbor is for them.someone who tempts them to satisfy their aggressiveness on him, to exploit hiscapacity for work without compensation, to use him sexually without his consent, to seize his possessionsto humiliate him, to cause him pain, to torture and to kill him. Homo homini lupus.'Contrary to the two opposing sides of this battle for the high moral ground, morality and immorality are neither possible nor desirable to the extent thattheir respective ideologues would like us to believe.But one should not misunderstand this challenge as a suggestion that ethics is a worthless field of study, or that other fields of study (related to ethics)like political philosophy, moral psychology, social studies, theology, or even international relations should be dismissed. Needless to stress, neither ofthese two extreme views is reasonable either.Instead, this book provides an alternative (better) way to understand the nature of ethics, especially inrelation to morality and immorality-while learning from different approaches in the literature butwithout favoring any one of them (nor integrating them, since they are not necessarily compatible witheach other). This book offers a new theory to transcend the existing approaches in the literature onethics in a way not thought of before.This seminal project is to fundamentally alter the way that we think about ethics, from the combinedperspectives of the mind, nature, society, and culture, with enormous implications for the humanfuture and what I originally called its 'post-human' fate.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Is the invention of accounting so useful that, as Charlie Munger once said, 'you have to knowaccounting. It's the language of practical business life. It was a very useful thing to deliver tocivilization. I've heard it came to civilization through Venice which of course was once the greatcommercial power in the Mediterranean' (WOO 2013)This positive view on accounting can be contrasted with an opposing view by Paul Browne that'the recent [accounting] scandals have brought a new level of attention to the accountingprofession as gatekeepers and custodians of social interest.' (DUM 2013)Contrary to these opposing views (and other ones as will be discussed in the book), accounting(in relation to addition and subtraction) are neither possible (or impossible) nor desirable (orundesirable) to the extent that the respective ideologues (on different sides) would like us tobelieve.Of course, this reexamination of different opposing views on accounting does not mean that the study of addition and subtraction isuseless, or that those fields (related to accounting)-like bookkeeping, auditing, forensics, info management, finance, philosophy ofaccounting, accounting ethics, lean accounting, mental accounting, environmental audit, creative accounting, carbon accounting, socialaccounting, and so on-are unimportant. (WK 2013) In fact, neither of these extreme views is plausible.Rather, this book offers an alternative (better) way to understand the future of accounting in regard to the dialectic relationship betweenaddition and subtraction-while learning from different approaches in the literature but without favoring any one of them (norintegrating them, since they are not necessarily compatible with each other). Morespecifically, this book offers a new theory (that is, the double-sided theory of accounting) togo beyond the existing approaches in a novel way and is organized in four chapters.This seminal project will fundamentally change the way that we think about accounting inrelation to addition and subtraction from the combined perspectives of the mind, naturesociety, and culture, with enormous implications for the human future and what I originallycalled its 'post-human' fate.
