Description:Princeton University Philosopher Walter Kaufmann says that there is one age-old but hitherto unrecognized fear that is nearly universal. It is 'Decidophobia', the morbid dread of making fateful decisions -- an ostrich-like defense that drives people to seek refuge in conformity, religion, political movements, and marriage. If decidophobia is the paralysis of our time, what is the alternative? This book is the answer. Already hailed as "a major landmark in modern philosophy", "a bracing mind-stretcher", and "nothing less than an original view of human happiness", this is Dr. Kaufmann's most penetrating and important work. Though calmly reasoned, his arguments deliver with the impact of demolition charges. Love is "corruptible"; The Golden Rule "intolerable"; nobody "deserves" punishment; equality is "decrepit". But alienation is essential to attain the psychic energy and inner resources of The New Integrity. Professor Kaufmann proposes a radically honest life of creative autonomy as the only constructive escape from the chains of guilt and justice.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
