Max Hayward Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

The dissertation posits that ethics is inherently mind-dependent, emerging from human interactions and the need for mutually sympathetic coexistence. It challenges traditional philosophical views that treat ethical foundations as theoretical, arguing instead that choosing a metaethical stance is a significant moral decision. The author advocates for anti-realism, suggesting that seeking objective moral truths undermines the importance of interpersonal relationships. By framing morality as a collective creation, the work emphasizes the relevance of ethical norms and the objectives of moral inquiry.

Im russischen Zarenreich aufgewachsen, erlebt der Moskauer Arzt Shiwago den Ausbruch der Revolution. Alle Hoffnungen auf eine glänzende Karriere werden mit der neuen Ordnung zerstört, und Shiwago beschließt, mit seiner Familie auf ein Landgut reicher Verwandter zu ziehen. Die Familienidylle gerät ins Wanken, als Shiwago Lara wieder trifft, die er in einem Lazarett kennenlernte … Sein halbes Leben lang arbeitete Boris Pasternak an diesem Roman, der in der Sowjetunion nicht publiziert werden durfte.

Hope Against Hope recounted the last four years in the life of the great Russian poet, Osip Mandelstam, and gave a hair-raising account of Stalin's terror. Hope Abandoned complements that earlier masterpiece, and in it Nadezhda Mandelstam describes their life together from 1919, and her own after Mandelstam's death in a labour camp in 1938. She also sets out his system of values and beliefs, and provides striking portraits of many of their contemporaries including Boris Pasternak and their champion till his own downfall, Nikolai Bukharin, as well as an astonishingly candid picture of Anna Akhmatova.
