The Study Of Ethics And Psychology (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161500431)

The Study of Ethics and Psychology is a seminal work by John Dewey, a renowned American philosopher and educator. The book explores the intersection of ethics and psychology, examining how human behavior is shaped by moral principles and how these principles are themselves influenced by psychological factors. Dewey argues that ethical theories cannot be divorced from the study of human nature, and that a thorough understanding of psychology is essential for developing a robust and coherent ethical framework. He delves into topics such as the nature of moral reasoning, the role of emotions in moral decision-making, and the relationship between individual and social ethics. The book is divided into two parts, with the first section focusing on the theoretical foundations of ethics and psychology, and the second section applying these principles to practical issues such as education, politics, and social reform. Throughout the book, Dewey emphasizes the importance of a pragmatic approach to ethics, one that is grounded in real-world experience and seeks to promote the well-being of individuals and society as a whole. Overall, The Study of Ethics and Psychology is a thought-provoking and insightful work that remains relevant to contemporary debates in philosophy, psychology, and ethics. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between human nature, moral principles, and social behavior.The Study of Ethics, A Syllabus and Psychology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
