  • Hume’s Moral Philosophy and Contemporary Psychology

    Edited by Philip A. Reed, Rico Vitz ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in Eighteenth-Century Philosophy
    Recent work at the intersection of moral philosophy and the philosophy of psychology has dealt mostly with Aristotelian virtue ethics. The dearth of scholarship that engages with Hume’s moral philosophy, however, is both noticeable and peculiar. Hume's Moral Philosophy and Contemporary Psychology demonstrates how Hume’s moral philosophy comports with recent work from the empirical sciences and ... Read more

  • The Ethics of Belief

    Edited by Jonathan Matheson, Rico Vitz ...
    How do people form beliefs, and how should they do so? This book presents seventeen new essays on these questions, drawing together perspectives from philosophy and psychology. The first section explores the ethics of belief from an individualistic framework. It begins by examining the question of doxastic voluntarism-i.e., the extent to which people have control over their beliefs. It then shifts ... Read more

  • Reforming the Art of Living

    Nature, Virtue, and Religion in Descartes's Epistemology

    by Rico Vitz ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Descartes’s concern with the proper method of belief formation is evident in the titles of his works—e.g., The Search after Truth, The Rules for the Direction of the Mind and The Discourse on Method of rightly conducting one’s reason and seeking the truth in the sciences. It is most apparent, however, in his famous discussions, both in the Meditations and in the Principles, of one particularly ... Read more

  • Emotional Insight

    The Epistemic Role of Emotional Experience

    by Michael S. Brady ...
    Michael S. Brady presents a fresh perspective on how to understand the difference that emotions can make to our lives. It is a commonplace that emotions can give us information about the world: we are told, for instance, that sometimes it is a good idea to 'listen to our heart' when trying to figure out what to believe. In particular, many people think that emotions can give us information about ... Read more

    Why Human Beings Need the Virtues

    by Alasdair MacIntyre ...
    Series series The Paul Carus Lectures
    "MacIntyre--one of the foremost ethicists of the past half-century--makes a sustained argument for the cetnrality, in well-lived human lives, of both virtue and local communities of giving and receiving. He criticizes the mainstream of Western ethics, including his own previous position, for not taking seriously the dependent and animal sides of human nature, thereby overemphasizing the powers of ...

  • Morality for Humans

    Ethical Understanding from the Perspective of Cognitive Science

    by Mark Johnson ...
    "A welcome renewal and defense of John Dewey's ethical naturalism, which Johnson claims is the only morality 'fit for actual human beings.'" — Notre Dame Philosophical ReviewsWhat is the difference between right and wrong? This is no easy question to answer, yet we constantly try to make it so, frequently appealing to absolutes, whether drawn from God, universal reason, or societal authority. ... Read more

  • Time and the Philosophy of Action

    Edited by Roman Altshuler, Michael J. Sigrist ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy
    Although scholarship in philosophy of action has grown in recent years, there has been little work explicitly dealing with the role of time in agency, a role with great significance for the study of action. As the articles in this collection demonstrate, virtually every fundamental issue in the philosophy of action involves considerations of time. The four sections of this volume address the ...

  • Welfare and Rational Care

    by Stephen Darwall ...
    Series series Princeton Monographs in Philosophy
    What kind of life best ensures human welfare? Since the ancient Greeks, this question has been as central to ethical philosophy as to ordinary reflection. But what exactly is welfare? This question has suffered from relative neglect. And, as Stephen Darwall shows, it has done so at a price. Presenting a provocative new "rational care theory of welfare," Darwall proves that a proper understanding ... Read more

    How Psychology Found Its Language

    by Kurt Danziger ...
    Intelligence, motivation, personality, learning, stimulation, behaviour and attitude are just some of the categories that map the terrain of `psychological reality′. These are the concepts which, among others, underpin theoretical and empirical work in modern psychology - and yet these concepts have only recently taken on their contemporary meanings.This fascinating work is a persuasive ...

    Edward Westermarck’s Moral and Social Theory

    by Otto Pipatti ...
    While highly respected among evolutionary scholars, the sociologist, anthropologist and philosopher Edward Westermarck is now largely forgotten in the social sciences.

  • Lack of Character

    Personality and Moral Behavior

    by John M. Doris ...
    This book is a provocative contribution to contemporary ethical theory challenging foundational conceptions of character that date back to Aristotle. John Doris draws on behavioral science, especially social psychology, to argue that we misattribute the causes of behavior to personality traits and other fixed aspects of character rather than to the situational context. More often than not it is ... Read more

  • Consciousness and Moral Status

    by Joshua Shepherd ...
    Series series Routledge Focus on Philosophy
    It seems obvious that phenomenally conscious experience is something of great value, and that this value maps onto a range of important ethical issues. For example, claims about the value of life for those in Permanent Vegetative State (PVS); debates about treatment and study of disorders of consciousness; controversies about end-of-life care for those with advanced dementia; and arguments about ...
