Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why should we avoid doing moral wrong? The inability of philosophy to answer this question in a compelling manner—along with the moral skepticism and ethical confusion that ensue—result, Stephen Darwall argues, from our failure to appreciate the essentially interpersonal character of moral obligation. After showing how attempts to vindicate morality have tended to change the subject—falling back on non-moral values or practical, first-person considerations—Darwall elaborates the interpersonal nature of moral obligations: their inherent link to our responsibilities to one another as members of the moral community. As Darwall defines it, the concept of moral obligation has an irreducibly second-person aspect; it presupposes our authority to make claims and demands on one another. And so too do many other central notions, including those of rights, the dignity of and respect for persons, and the very concept of person itself. The result is nothing less than a fundamental reorientation of moral theory that enables it at last to account for morality’s supreme authority—an account that Darwall carries from the realm of theory to the practical world of second-person attitudes, emotions, and actions.

Download or read book Thomas Reid Essays on the Active Powers of Man written by Thomas Reid and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-27 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Essays on the Active Powers of Man (1788) was Thomas Reid's last major work. It was conceived as part of one large work, intended as a final synoptic statement of his philosophy. The first and larger part was published three years earlier as Essays on the Intellectual Powers of Man (edited as vol. 3 of the Edinburgh Edition of Thomas Reid). These two works are united by Reid's basic philosophy of common sense, which sets out native principles by which the mind operates in both its intellectual and active aspects. The Active Powers shows how these principles are involved in volition, action, and the ability to judge morally. Reid gives an original twist to a libertarian and realist tradition that was prominently represented in eighteenth-century British thought by such thinkers as Samuel Clarke and Richard Price.

Book excerpt: Our world is in a moral decline and as a result we have lost the scope of what it really takes for a male to become a man. When we look at the plight of a man today, we see the results of this loss. Fatherless families, infidelity, abusive tendencies, acceptance of lack, and the inability to face upfront issues. These struggles are just a small glimpse into what men face, but each struggle is a battle that men must learn to overcome. They each pose a direct threat to who God intended for men to be. Changing your mind-set about who you are, becomes the first step to improve your overall ability to handle life’s problems. You must find the courage needed to wage the war in gaining back the wholesome, healthy, and prosperous lifestyle that God intended for men to live. This groundbreaking message highlights the elements of a man’s moral consciousness, extracted from Adam’s experiences with God before the fall. Explore how to reclaim the biblical truth of what it means to be a man made in the image of God. Uncover the seven core values that are necessary to build a healthy inner character. Find out how to embark on a quest into understanding Divine Masculinity. From real life experiences, biblical narratives, and thought-provoking research, you learn that building your character from the inside out will establish you as a healthy, whole man…a Total Man. Surrender, Order, Purpose, Boundaries, Responsibilities, Authority and Love all form the core foundation for a man’s moral compass.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this succinct and well-written book, one of our most eminent philosophers provides a fresh reading of the view of freedom and morality developed by Thomas Reid (1710-1796). Although contemporary theorists have written extensively about the Scottish philosopher's contributions to the theory of knowledge, this is the first book-length study of his contributions to the controversy over freedom and necessity. William L. Rowe argues that Reid developed a subtle, systematic theory of moral freedom based on the idea of the human being as a free and morally responsible agent. He carefully reconstructs the theory and explores the intellectual background to Reid's views in the work of John Locke, Samuel Clarke, and Anthony Collins. Rowe develops a novel account of Reid's conception of free action and relates it to contemporary arguments that moral responsibility for an action implies the power to have done otherwise. Distilling from Reid's work a viable version of the agency theory of freedom and responsibility, he suggests how Reid's theory can be defended against the major objections--both historical and contemporary--that have been advanced against it. Blending to good effect historical and philosophical analysis, Thomas Reid on Freedom and Morality should interest philosophers, political theorists, and intellectual historians.
