Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moral Agency: And Man as a Moral Agent Such a well-defined and healthy protestant ism, the writer conceives the present times emphatically call for. The tendencies of theo logical and ecclesiastical opinion are making it every day more manifest that all religionists are fast'ranging into two classes, -those who take their faith from the Bible, and those who take it from the Church. Having thus stated with all distinctness with which Of these he himself holds, the writer may be permitted respectfully to ask his reader, 'with which do you range yourself?' If with the latter, and you have decidedly taken part, the writer cannot hold out to you any hope Of satisfaction in the perusal Of the following pages; for what ever Church it be whose teaching you confide in, you will not find its creed there done homage to on account of its being such; and as it must be a point settled with you beyond the reach Of rational questioning, that whatever conclu sions any one may come to that are not in har mony with the accredited symbol of your faith, must of necessity be wrong: no better results than annoyance and mental disquietude can well be anticipated from a review of inquiries and reasonings, many of which will be found to belong to what is with you a proscribed order, and which by consequence you have already prejudged and condemned. But if you are one Of those who come directly to the Bible for your faith, you of course prac tically know that its meaning is to be ascer tained through the exercise Of the same facul ties, which are applied to the investigation of the works of nature; and while claiming the liberty of judging for yourself, and conceding to others an equal freedom, you will be ready to accept with gratitude every discreet and well-intentioned endeavour to aid you in asoer taining the true principles taught in the word of God, or involved in what it teaches. From such as you who, maintaining and exercising intellectual freedom, have resolved to search after truth for themselves, and who would not sell' it for the most splendid possessions or honours which the universe has to bestow, the writer anticipates a cordial sympathy in his labours, and apprehends no uncharitable cen sure, even where they may deem him to have erred. To such, then he would humbly de dicate the following inquiries, confident that whether they acquiesce in few or many of the results, they will at least honour the motive which prompted him to institute them.

Download or read book Moral Agency written by Cristobal Falanga and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some philosophers believe personhood requires moral agency, the capacity to make moral decisions based on the perception of right and wrong. Stated simply, it's the ability to judge between good and bad, moral and immoral. Building on this definition, a moral agent is a being who is conscious of the concepts of right and wrong. Normal adult humans are widely considered to be paradigms of moral agents. To be a moral agent means to be responsible for one's moral actions. It means to be a being capable of acting with reference to right and wrong, and rationality is often associated with this capability. It is important to note that morals differ between individuals and cultures and that an individual's morals change throughout their life as they mature and their relationships with the environment and people around them change.

Download or read book Dimensions of Moral Agency written by David Boersema and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-10 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dimensions of Moral Agency addresses and exemplifies the multi-dimensionality of modern moral philosophy. The book is a collection of papers originally presented at the Northwest Philosophy Conference in October 2013. The papers encompass a wide variety of topics within moral philosophy, including metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics, and broadly fall within the areas of the nature of moral agency and moral agency as it is played out in particular aspects of people’s lived experiences. The papers include assessments of the contributions of historical figures, such as Aristotle, Epictetus, Confucius, Berkeley, and Descartes, as well as analyses of agency as it relates to individual and social moral issues like mental illness, the ethics of debt, prostitution, eco-consumerism, oppression, and species egalitarianism, among others. Also covered are concerns related to the nature of moral reasoning at the individual and social level, the relevance of love and emotion to moral agency, and moral responsibility and efficacy. Interwoven with these topics and issues are concerns related to what sorts of things are, or could be, moral agents and what constitutes a moral good; the possibility of the existence of moral knowledge or moral facts or moral truth; and what constitutes moral motivation and how that is, or is not, related to questions of moral justification.

Download or read book Moral Habitat written by Nancie Erhard and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moral Habitat explores how our moral imaginations and moral norms have been shaped by and even cocreated with Earth in diverse biotic communities. Weaving together science and religion with indigenous and womanist traditions, Nancie Erhard uses examples from a variety of sources, including post-Cartesian science, the Old Testament, and the Mi ́kmaq tribe of Eastern Canada. She demonstrates how each portrays the agency—including the moral agency—of the natural world. From this cross-cultural approach, she recasts the question of how we conceive of humans as moral agents. While written for "the sake of Earth," this thought-provoking book goes well beyond the issue of ecology to show the contribution that such an approach can make to pluralist ethics on a range of timely social issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often assumed that wrongdoing can only be resolved through punishment or forgiveness. But this book explores the responses that wrongdoers can and should make to their own misdeeds, responses such as apology, repentance, reparations, and self-punishment. It examines the possibility of atonement in a broad spectrum of contexts -- from cases of relatively minor wrongs in personal relationships, to crimes, to the historical injustices of our political and religious communities. It argues that wrongdoers often have the ability to earn redemption within the moral community, that respect and trust among victims, communities and wrongdoers can be rebuilt, and that the moral responsibility of wrongdoing groups can be addressed without treating their members unfairly.

Book excerpt: Erotic Morality examines the role of the senses and the emotions, especially touch, in moral reflection and agency. Moving from organic disorders such as autism to culturally induced feeling disorders found in dualistic philosophy, pornography, and some forms of sadomasochism, Linda Holler argues that reclaiming the sentient awareness necessary to our physical and moral well-being demands healing the places where we have become numb or hypersensitive to touch. By considering ascetic practices designed to produce what Buddhists call mindfulness, Holler presents alternatives to destructive patterns of actions dictated by desensitivity and habitual conditioning.
