Science And The Structure Of Ethics - Taylor & Francis Ltd

Initially Prepared As Part Of The Foundations Of The Unity Of Science Volumes Under The Auspices Of The International Encyclopedia Of Unified Science, Science And The Structure Of Ethics Soon Took On A Life Of Its Own. Well Positioned In The Naturalistic Tradition Of Ethical Theory Extending From John Dewey At The Start And Richard Rorty At The Conclusion Of The Century, Abraham Edel's Volume Offers A Remarkable Synthesis Of The Ways Hi Which Ethical Statements Can Be Examined, And The Nature Of Ethical Concerns.edel Reveals A Singular Capacity To Move Beyond Oracular Controversies Of The Good And The Right Hi Favor Of A Comparative, Analytic, And Functional Account Of How Ethical Perspectives And Practices Affect The Content Of Moral Discourse. In Edel's Work, The Structure Of Ethical Behavior Is Defined By Biological, Psychological, Social, And Historical Functions.
