PERFIDY, FLATTERY, LOW MOTIVES

The book "Perfidy, Flattery, Low Motives" edited by Michał Rydlewski and Małgorzata Czapiga-klag is a fascinating analysis of moral phenomena that, although generally condemned, play an important role in society. The authors undertake the difficult task of looking at these negative character traits from a broader perspective, taking into account their historical roots and social functions. It is a read that encourages reflection on human nature and the mechanisms that govern our relationships.

• Historical analysis of the origins of vices
• Social functions of low motives
• Psychological aspects of perfidy and flattery
• Role in survival in a hostile environment
• The art of flattery as a cultural competence
• Vices as the reverse of minor virtues
• Necessity for civilized coexistence

This publication, published by the University of Wrocław, is the result of the work of a team of scientists who have taken an interdisciplinary look at moral phenomena. The authors, referring to philosophy, sociology and psychology, analyze perfidy, flattery and other low motives as elements of a complex network of social relations. This book is an invitation to dialogue about morality and ethics in the context of the modern world.

It is worth noting the thesis put forward by the authors, namely that the practice of vices such as crawling or flattery is a special art, testifying to a high level of cultural and communication competence. This provocative statement forces us to reflect on the role of hypocrisy and politeness in interpersonal relationships. Is honesty at all costs always desirable? Is the ability to merciful silence sometimes necessary to maintain social harmony?

This book is especially recommended to people interested in philosophy, sociology, psychology and ethics. It is a read that will surely broaden your horizons and encourage you to reflect on your own beliefs and attitudes. The paperback edition, with 232 pages, is an ideal offer for anyone looking for intellectual stimulation and wanting to better understand the mechanisms that govern society.
