The Problem Of Conduct: A Study In The Phenomenology Of Ethics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162933603)

The Problem of Conduct: A Study in the Phenomenology of Ethics is a philosophical work written by Alfred Edward Taylor. The book is an exploration of the nature of ethical conduct and the difficulties that arise when attempting to define and understand it. Taylor proposes that ethical conduct is not simply a matter of following rules or principles, but rather is a complex and dynamic phenomenon that is shaped by a variety of factors, including social norms, personal values, and emotional responses.The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the nature of ethical conduct and the different approaches that have been taken to understanding it. The second part focuses on the role of emotions in ethical conduct, arguing that they play a crucial role in shaping our moral decisions and actions. The final part of the book explores the relationship between ethical conduct and social norms, arguing that our moral behavior is strongly influenced by the norms and expectations of the communities in which we live.Throughout the book, Taylor draws on a variety of philosophical and psychological theories to support his arguments. He also provides numerous examples and case studies to illustrate his points, making the book accessible to both scholars and general readers. Overall, The Problem of Conduct is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most complex and challenging issues in philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
