Through an interdisciplinary approach, this book explores
premodern, modern, and postmodern moral perspectives to identify
the problems and challenges facing moral thinking in the 1990's and
beyond. This book introduces and clarifies these various moral
viewpoints through a multi-faceted discussion which examines morals
from philosophical, social, and psychological perspectives. The
primary focus of Wanderings centers on what educated and common
people have thought and said about what is good and bad in
premodern, modern, and postmodern spheres of thought. In this
spirit, the moral views of ancient Egypt, ancient Israel, certain
Greek philosophers as well as several modern philosophical and
postmodern ethical attitudes are discussed. From the modern
tradition, the book describes key thinkers in connection with
egoism, utilitarianism, relativism, and absolutism. Issues of
difference, diversity, power, empowerment, otherness, and
domination are just some of the issues examined in relation to
postmodern moral attitudes. Along with moral viewpoints, the book
also examines how our value systems have developed and continue to
develop.
