Responsibility And Culture (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163813775)

""Responsibility and Culture"" by L. P. Jacks is a philosophical book that explores the concept of responsibility and its relationship with culture. The author argues that responsibility is a fundamental aspect of human existence and that culture plays a crucial role in shaping our understanding of what it means to be responsible. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the nature of responsibility and its various dimensions, including moral, legal, and social responsibility. The author also discusses the relationship between responsibility and freedom, arguing that true freedom is only possible when we take responsibility for our actions. The second part of the book focuses on the role of culture in shaping our understanding of responsibility. The author argues that different cultures have different conceptions of responsibility, and that these conceptions are shaped by a variety of factors, including religion, history, and social norms. The author also explores the ways in which culture can both facilitate and hinder our ability to be responsible.Overall, ""Responsibility and Culture"" is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to think deeply about the nature of responsibility and its relationship with culture. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics, or cultural studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
