Moral Motivation presents a history of the concept of moral
motivation. The book consists of ten chapters by eminent scholars
in the history of philosophy, covering Plato, Aristotle, later
Peripatetic philosophy, medieval philosophy, Spinoza, Locke, Hume,
Kant, Fichte and Hegel, and the consequentialist tradition. In
addition, four interdisciplinary "Reflections" discuss how the
topic of moral motivation arises in epic poetry, Cicero, early
opera, and Theodore Dreiser. Most contemporary philosophical
discussions of moral motivation focus on whether and how moral
beliefs by themselves motivate an agent (at least to some degree)
to act. In much of the history of the concept, especially before
Hume, the focus is rather on how to motivate people to act morally
as well as on what sort of motivation a person must act from (or
what end an agents acts for) in order to be a genuinely ethical
person or even to have done a genuinely ethical action. The book
shows the complexity of the historical treatment of moral
motivation and, moreover, how intertwined moral motivation is with
central aspects of ethical theory.
