An Ethics of Reading

At the age of nine, Edith Wharton developed typhoid fever. A local doctor told his parents that he could not do anything, and their daughter would die soon. Only the waiter of the other doctor just passed through the town, and checked the girl tranquilly and saved her life. She got a fever and her young Wharton began to recover. During recovery, she readily greedily. One of the books she gave contains a "supernatural" story - this story is proved to be "dangerous reading" by Wharton's own words (Wharton, p. 275).

When considering ethical reading, it is necessary to distinguish reading ethics from reading ethics. For me, reading ethics includes recognizing who we are and what our prejudices and interests are. Reading ethics, even though no matter how wonderful it is, does not provide a solution to read Daniel's prophecies on the wall but provides several possibilities. A compassionate way to enter reading for people with different positions.

Questions about rights and errors, and how they function in a restricted and infinite range. Nick Bostrom's paper briefly describes infinite positive and negative worlds. Infinite values ​​can not be changed by adding or subtracting finite values. It makes a lot of sense for me. We can look at the stars at night, we can not change the vast ocean and the surrounding mountains - these immortal huge things alone. These are the beautiful things we found at birth, and we sometimes died. It can not be changed. But - they can

But I am still depressed. Aristotle's Nicomachean ethics is my support. Reading 100 times is not enough. But that led to it. Ethics allows me to read Socrates, Cicero, Francis Bacon, Montaigne etc. Recently, Adam Smith's "moral feelings theory" as a species, as a species, are we attracted to strangers (And where we understand the limits of others). Then that suddenly attacked me. Freud suggested that strangers who provided aid were experts. He is a physical exercise training, training again, a doctor who sat, sit down, heard, and reflected. Expert strangers. Today, I also want to know when, why and how this expertise is useful, when and why, and how to hinder the relationship with those who are seeking help. I returned to my bridge.
