The Study Of Ethics And Psychology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425482046)

The Study of Ethics and Psychology is a book written by renowned American philosopher John Dewey. Published in 1894, this book explores the relationship between ethics and psychology, two fields that were often considered separate at the time. Dewey argues that ethics cannot be understood without considering the psychological factors that influence human behavior, and that psychology cannot be fully understood without considering ethical principles.The book is divided into two main parts. The first part focuses on the ethical theories of the time, including those of Immanuel Kant, Jeremy Bentham, and John Stuart Mill. Dewey critiques these theories and argues that they fail to take into account the complex psychological factors that influence human behavior.The second part of the book examines the psychological factors that influence ethical decision-making. Dewey argues that ethical behavior is not simply a matter of following rules or principles, but is also influenced by social and environmental factors, as well as individual differences in temperament and personality.Overall, The Study of Ethics and Psychology is a groundbreaking work that challenged the traditional view of ethics as a purely philosophical discipline. Dewey's insights into the relationship between ethics and psychology continue to be influential in both fields today.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.
