| Tóm tắt: | How do our feelings for others shape our attitudes and conduct
towards them? Is morality primarily a matter of rational choice, or
instinctual feeling? Joseph Duke Filonowicz takes the reader on an
engaging, informative tour of some of the main issues in philosophical
ethics, explaining and defending the ideas of the earlymodern
British sentimentalists. These philosophers – Shaftesbury,
Hutcheson, Hume, and Smith – argued that it is our feelings, and not
our “reason,” which ultimately determine how we judge what is good
or bad, right or wrong, and how we choose to act towards our fellow
human beings. Filonowicz draws on contemporary sociology and
evolutionary biology as well as present-day moral theory to examine
and defend the sentimentalist view and to challenge the rationalistic
character of contemporary ethics. His book will appeal to readers
interested in both history of philosophy and current ethical debates. |
