About This Item
University of Chicago Press, 1980-01-15. Paperback. Very Good. 1981 'Phoenix Edition,' University of Chicago Press (Chicago, Illinois), 5 7/8 x 9 inches tall trade paperback in glossy blue covers, white lettering to front cover and spine, xii, 393 pp. Very slight soiling, rubbing and edgewear to covers. Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked. ~G~ [2.0P] 'Most modern philosophers attempt to solve the problem of morality from within the epistemological assumptions that define the dominant cultural perspective of our age. Alan Gewirth's Reason and Morality is a major work in this ongoing enterprise. Gewirth develops, with patience and skill, what he calls a 'modified naturalism' in which morality is derived by logic alone from the concept of action. . . . I think that the publication of Reason and Morality is a major event in the history of moral philosophy. It develops with great power a new and exciting position in ethical naturalism. No one, regardless of philosophical stance, can read this work without an enlargement of mind. It illuminates morality and agency for all.' - E. M. Adams, The Review of Metaphysics
