30/4/2019

 
This month, I have read, watched, and liked these:

Films, documentaries, TV series:
  • Carol Reed (1949) The Third Man
  • Agnes Varda (1965) Le Bonheur
  • John Frankenheimer (1966) Seconds [Especially recommended if you are interested in personal identity. Also, great cinematography by James Wong Howe]
  • Tate Taylor (2011) The Help
  • K. Mundl & A. Prochaska (2014) Sarajevo
  • True Detective, Season 1 (2014) [This season is truly impressive. Unfortunately, season 2 is very disapponting]
  • David Mrnka (2017) Milada
  • Game of Thrones, Season 7 (2017)
  • Ricky Gervais (2019) After Life, Season 1

Academic essays

Comparative/History of Philosophy/Classics
  • Paul Williams (1999) On altruism and rebirth
  • Mark Siderits (2000) Review of Altruism and Reality
  • Stephen Harris (2011) Does anatman rationally entail altruism?
  • Stephen Harris (2014) Suffering and the shape of well-being in Buddhist ethics

Normative Ethics/Meta-ethics/Personal Identity
  • Bernard Williams (1973) Egoism and altruism
  • Gregory Kavka (1984) The reconciliation project
  • David Brink (1990) Rational egoism, self, and others
  • Jennifer Whiting (1991) Impersonal friends
  • David Brink (1993) The separateness of persons, distributive norms, and moral theory
  • David Brink (1997) Self-love and altruism
  • David Brink (1997) Rational egoism and the separateness of persons [In general, I like Brink's essays even though I disagree with some of what he says and despite the fact that he repeats perhaps a bit too much the content of his previous works]
  • David Brink (2003) Prudence and rationality 
  • Donald LM Baxter (2005) Altruism, grief, and identity
  • Brad Hooker (2013) Egoism, partiality, and impartiality

Applied Ethics
  • P. Singer (1972) Famine, affluence, and morality

Short stories:
  • Franz Kafka (1912) The Judgment [I have read this story many times and it's probably one of my favourite. Note the confession to Max Brod about what Kafka was thinking about when he wrote the last sentence of this story...]
  • Franz Kafka (1919) In the Penal Colony

Books:
  • Thomas Bernhard (1967) Gargoyles
  • Charles Goodman (2009) Consequences of Compassion
