About This Item
George Allen & Unwin Ltd, 1937-01-01. Hardcover. Good. 1937 first edition George Allen and Unwin (London), 5 1/2 x 8 inches tall blue cloth hardcover in publisher's dust jacket, gilt lettering to spine, 258 pp. plus publisher's ads. Slight to moderate soiling, rubbing and edgewear to covers, with minor bumping to the spine tips. Otherwise, apart from a couple of pages with slight marginal soiling, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - in a soiled, rubbed and chipped dust jacket which is nicely preserved and displayed in a clear archival Brodart sleeve. ~QQ~ [1.5P] A defense of the irreducible status of value and its authority for moral conduct. Inclusive, restrictive and exclusive theories of the relations of ethics to value theory are analyzed. Attempts to define ethical terms in terms of various orders of reference are examined. Influences tending to ethical subjectivism are reviewed, and it is maintained that the failure to distinguish the psychological conditioning of judgments from the truth of the propositions entertained is a source of this subjectivism. The objective reference of ethical propositions is considered and ethical predication is held to be not only characterizing but imperative in mode. It is suggested, in closing, that theories attempting psychological definitions of value, while failing in this, offer criteria for the verification of value's objective validity.
