The work presents a thorough and engaging overview of a pernnial
problem in philosophy the relation between moral theory and human
limitations which is examined in an interdisciplinary context. This
treatment emphasizes the character of the problem and focuses on
proposed methods for dealing with it which lie outside the normal
philosophical path of discourse but are nonetheless at the core of
20th-century American philosophy. Dr. Morris's monograph presents
an examination of the constraints placed upon ethical theory by
certain aspects of contemporary psychological theory, specifically
behaviorism. These constraints were outlined in many of the
writings of John Dewey. The present text culs and organizes Dewey's
thougth regarding the issue. It traces the development of Dewey's
thoughts regarding the interrelations between ethics and psychology
from his early papers to his last works. For contrast and
dimension, a parallel discussion is presented for B.F.Skinner. The
book focuses on Dewey's insistence that an adequate ethical theory
must be modeled within the context of the most current
psychological theories; among the latter Dewey saw behaviorism as
most promising. Skinner's behaviorism is outlined and
extra-psychological views are presented regarding ethical matters
and ethical outcomes.
