About this product
Product Information
Choice Outstanding Title Robert Hannaford's book answers two fundamental questions: How do we come to do what is morally demanded of us--i.e., what compels us into "acceptable acts"? And, how does our being moral emerge from what we are and how we are related to each other? Hannaford shows that doing (reasoning and acting morally) and being (our "moral anatomy" or essential nature) do not exist in a vacuum but are rooted in community, in our relations with others. Moral reasoning, he argues, focuses on what we ought to do in a situation where we must consider the needs, desires, and expectations of others. "It's about doing," he explains. "We provide food and water for the victims of an urban riot or a nearby natural disaster, and when we are met by a lost child, we try to help it in finding its parents. As responsible people we [make] choices that we believe can be shown to be acceptable to others in the community. What is morally correct must reflect the judgment of the moral community." Rejecting relativists who claim the impossibility of universal moral values, Hannaford develops a theory based on a variation of the Golden Rule. He demonstrates how our natural responsiveness to others' feelings and sufferings, our concern for other persons "conceived as like ourselves" lies at the heart of our moral anatomy and moral reasoning and ultimately guides our moral actions.

"A dazzling and, at times, masterful display of common sense in moral philosophy. This is a work of genuine philosophical vision that has both power and depth of insight. It brings together and brings to bear upon one another a wealth of insights about the human condition--displaying the right sort of sensitivities to matters at nearly every juncture."- Laurence Thomas , author of Living Morally: A Psychology of Moral Character "The broad sweep of the author's argument moves the discussion of moral motivation beyond the old debates about philosophical egoism into such contemporary contexts as the inherently interpersonal character of human language and the inevitably trans-cultural presuppositions of moral evaluations between cultures."- Thomas Wren , author of Caring about Morality: Philosophical Perspectives in Moral Psychology "This is a penetrating analysis of why attempts to explain moral reasoning in terms of what rationally self-interested individuals can publicly advocate are bound to fail. Instead, Hannaford introduces the notion of 'moral anatomy,' which places moral reasoning within the network of socially oriented attitudes, motives, and interpersonal relationships that make sense of who we are as persons and as members of moral communities. He effectively supports his thesis by showing that even in very early childhood, our emerging moral anatomy reveals moral reasoning at work."- Michael S. Pritchard , author of On Becoming Responsible, "A dazzling and, at times, masterful display of common sense in moral philosophy.

His original yet accessible inquiry deserves careful attention, not only for its incisive argumentation, but also for its clear vision, common sense, and humanity."-- Choice "Hannaford's suggestion that care for others must be at the root of moral reasoning and is a part of our psychological makeup is novel philosophically and carries the implication that altruism is not something that is acquired, but rather who we are as a species."-- Child Development Abstracts & Bibliography "Hannaford's treatment shows common sense and humanity, and will be of interest to those reflecting on the Golden Rule's place in moral reasoning."-- Review of Metaphysics, "Hannaford skillfully weaves together strands drawn both from philosophers, classical and contemporary, and from psychologists.

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
