«L'influence de l'odeur des croissants chauds sur la bonté humaine» is Ruwen Ogien's essay on experimental moral philosophy in paperback.
Ogien argues that moral thought is as natural as the senses and is refined in everyday life. Using experimental philosophy, he poses real dilemmas —such as accepting the sacrifice of one healthy person to save several— to invite a re-examination of inherited moral rules and to build a pluralist ethics based on dignity, virtue and justice.
The work belongs to the Le Livre de Poche collection (no. 32735); the original edition appeared in 2011 and this paperback edition, from 2012, has 353 pages.
A read for those seeking ethics without academic jargon: the work presents moral philosophy as an everyday capacity.
Ruwen Ogien was a contemporary French philosopher. He was a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research. He focused on moral philosophy and the philosophy of social science. He was the brother of Albert Ogien a sociologist.
