The author identifies and defines the features of traditional
utilitarian theories which account for their appeal, demonstrates
that no theory which is exclusively act-oriented can have all the
properties that ultilitarians have attempted to build into their
theories, and develops a new theory co-operative utilitarianism,
Philosophy in eighteenth-century Britain was diverse, vibrant, and
sophisticated. This was the age of Hume and Berkeley and Reid, of
Hutcheson and Kames and Smith, of Ferguson and Burke and
Wollstonecraft. Important and influential works were published in
every area of philosophy, from the theory of vision to theories of
political resistance, from the philosophy of language to accounts
of ways of governing the passions. The philosophers of
eighteenth-century Britain were enormously influential, in France,
in Italy, in Germany, and in America. Their ideas and arguments
remain a powerful presence in philosophy three centuries later.
This Oxford Handbook is the first book ever to provide
comprehensive coverage of the full range of philosophical writing
in Britain in the eighteenth century. It provides accounts of the
writings of all the major figures, but also puts those figures in
the context provided by a host of writers less well known today.
The book has five principal sections: 'Logic and Metaphysics', 'The
Passions', 'Morals', 'Criticism', and 'Politics'. Each section
comprises four chapters, providing detailed coverage of all of the
important aspects of its subject matter. There is also an
introductory section, with chapters on the general character of
philosophizing in eighteenth-century Britain, and a concluding
section on the important question of the relation at this time
between philosophy and religion. The authors of the chapters are
experts in their fields. They include philosophers, historians,
political theorists, and literary critics, and they teach in
colleges and universities in Britain, in Europe, and in North
America.
Creativity and Morality summarizes and integrates research on
creativity used to achieve bad or immoral ends. The book includes
the use of deception, novel ideas to commit wrongdoings across
contexts, including in organizations, the classroom and terrorism.
Morality is discussed from an individual perspective and relative
to broader sociocultural norms that allow people to believe actions
are justified. Chapters explore this research from an
interdisciplinary perspective, including from psychology,
philosophy, media studies, aesthetics and ethics.
