Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rational Good: A Study in the Logic of Practice
The following chapters were originally written in 1908 - 9, in amplification of a sketch of ethical theory contained in my Morals in Evolution, which had been published three years earlier. I was not, however, satisfied with the result, and put the manuscript aside for several years. It has now been almost entirely re-written. My Obliga tions to various writers on Psychology and Ethics will be manifest, but the general theory which most nearly corresponds to the central doctrine of the work is one which I heard expounded in a paper read In New York in 1911 by a distinguished lecturer on Ethics, and have never met with again in print. Mr. J. A. Hobson kindly read the work in its original form, and made many valuable criticisms. Mr. A. W. Perris has performed the same service to the revised work, and several alterations and additions are due to his sugges tions. I have also to thank him for revising the proofs.

The Rational Good: A Study in the Logic of Practice (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a philosophical exploration of the connection between human action and reason, arguing that reason is not detached from our motivations and emotions but rather emerges from and interacts with them. Despite the general assumption that our actions are primarily driven by impulses and emotions, the author argues that reason plays a crucial role in shaping and directing our behavior. The author examines the complex relationship between impulse and reason, showing how impulses are not simply blind forces but are informed by anticipations of ends and desires, and how reason, in turn, is not merely an abstract faculty but is embedded in our emotional lives. The book also explores the historical and literary context of the philosophical debate on reason and action, and delves into the broader implications of its insights for our understanding of human nature and the nature of morality.
