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.
This book will give you the critical tools to sort through the
complexities that often obscure the perception of an opportunity
and help you take full advantage of what author Donald Morris calls
'high-end opportunities' - pivotal situations that can change your
life for the better.
