This book offers a compelling new interpretation of James' moral
philosophy: an "ethics of responsible self-fashioning." James'
performative writing style articulates this conception by showing
how moral inquiry serves both social and personal transformation.
James the social moral philosopher seeks to create an inclusive
moral order through expansion of sympathetic concern among those
committed to different ideals. James the existential moral
philosopher defends the right to adopt hope-grounding metaphysical
beliefs which encourage strenuous moral action in the face of evil
and suffering. The power of James' ethics is demonstrated by its
application to current discussions about the status of marginalized
nonhuman animals and that of the cognitively disabled. William
James and the Moral Life is of interest to a wide variety of
ethicists and has special appeal to scholars and advanced students
in moral philosophy, social philosophy, pragmatism, and American
philosophy.
