Böcker av Ben Bradley

Although cars and roads promised freedom, they offered drivers a curated view of the landscape. This book takes readers on a journey through the history of roads, highways, and motoring in British Columbia's Interior, a remote landscape composed of plateaus and interlocking valleys, soaring mountains and treacherous passes.

The concept of well-being plays a central role in moral and political theory. Policies and actions are justified or criticized on the grounds that they make people better or worse off.

Ben Bradley investigates what is good about life and what is bad about death. He argues that pleasure is what makes life go well, and that death is bad for its victim even though the victim ceases to exist, because it deprives him of a continuing good life. Bradley considers intriguing related questions, including how death can be made less bad.
