Excerpt from Moral Agency: And Man as a Moral Agent Such a well-defined and healthy protestant ism, the writer conceives the present times emphatically call for. The tendencies of theo logical and ecclesiastical opinion are making it every day more manifest that all religionists are fast'ranging into two classes, -those who take their faith from the Bible, and those who take it from the Church. Having thus stated with all distinctness with which Of these he himself holds, the writer may be permitted respectfully to ask his reader, 'with which do you range yourself?' If with the latter, and you have decidedly taken part, the writer cannot hold out to you any hope Of satisfaction in the perusal Of the following pages; for what ever Church it be whose teaching you confide in, you will not find its creed there done homage to on account of its being such; and as it must be a point settled with you beyond the reach Of rational questioning, that whatever conclu sions any one may come to that are not in har mony with the accredited symbol of your faith, must of necessity be wrong: no better results than annoyance and mental disquietude can well be anticipated from a review of inquiries and reasonings, many of which will be found to belong to what is with you a proscribed order, and which by consequence you have already prejudged and condemned. But if you are one Of those who come directly to the Bible for your faith, you of course prac tically know that its meaning is to be ascer tained through the exercise Of the same facul ties, which are applied to the investigation of the works of nature; and while claiming the liberty of judging for yourself, and conceding to others an equal freedom, you will be ready to accept with gratitude every discreet and well-intentioned endeavour to aid you in asoer taining the true principles taught in the word of God, or involved in what it teaches. From such as you who, maintaining and exercising intellectual freedom, have resolved to search after truth for themselves, and who would not sell' it for the most splendid possessions or honours which the universe has to bestow, the writer anticipates a cordial sympathy in his labours, and apprehends no uncharitable cen sure, even where they may deem him to have erred. To such, then he would humbly de dicate the following inquiries, confident that whether they acquiesce in few or many of the results, they will at least honour the motive which prompted him to institute them.

Antonia Lolordo presents an original interpretation of John Locke's metaphysics of moral agency, in which to be a moral agent is simply to be free, rational, and a person. Her account bears on Locke's metaphysics and political theory, and helps us understand his wider philosophical project and his accounts of liberty, personhood, and rationality.

Teaching morally and teaching morality are understood as mutually dependent processes necessary for providing moral education, or the communication of messages and lessons on what is right, good and virtuous in a student’s character. This comprehensive and contextualized volume offers anecdotes and experiences on how an elementary schoolteacher envisions, enacts, and reflects on the ethical teaching and learning of her students. By employing a personally developed form of moral education that is not defined by any particular philosophical or theoretical orientation, this volume relates that classroom-based moral education can, therefore, be conceived of and promoted as moral agency. Accentuated by the teacher’s voice to offer the experience of being in the classroom, this volume enables others to transfer relevant practices to their own teaching contexts.

This book examines the controversial and repercussive contention that an objective of the law should be to promote personal morality - to make people ethically better. It surveys a number of domains, including criminal law, tort law, contract law, family law, and medical law (particularly the realm of moral enhancement technologies) asking for each: (a) Does the existing law seek to promote personal morality? (b) If so, what is the account of morality promoted, and what is the substantive content? (c) Does it work? and (d) Is this a legitimate objective?

Moral Imagination written by Mark Johnson and has been published by University of Chicago Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014-12-10 with Philosophy categories.
Using path-breaking discoveries of cognitive science, Mark Johnson argues that humans are fundamentally imaginative moral animals, challenging the view that morality is simply a system of universal laws dictated by reason. According to the Western moral tradition, we make ethical decisions by applying universal laws to concrete situations. But Johnson shows how research in cognitive science undermines this view and reveals that imagination has an essential role in ethical deliberation. Expanding his innovative studies of human reason in Metaphors We Live By and The Body in the Mind, Johnson provides the tools for more practical, realistic, and constructive moral reflection.

Dimensions of Moral Agency addresses and exemplifies the multi-dimensionality of modern moral philosophy. The book is a collection of papers originally presented at the Northwest Philosophy Conference in October 2013. The papers encompass a wide variety of topics within moral philosophy, including metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics, and broadly fall within the areas of the nature of moral agency and moral agency as it is played out in particular aspects of people’s lived experiences. The papers include assessments of the contributions of historical figures, such as Aristotle, Epictetus, Confucius, Berkeley, and Descartes, as well as analyses of agency as it relates to individual and social moral issues like mental illness, the ethics of debt, prostitution, eco-consumerism, oppression, and species egalitarianism, among others. Also covered are concerns related to the nature of moral reasoning at the individual and social level, the relevance of love and emotion to moral agency, and moral responsibility and efficacy. Interwoven with these topics and issues are concerns related to what sorts of things are, or could be, moral agents and what constitutes a moral good; the possibility of the existence of moral knowledge or moral facts or moral truth; and what constitutes moral motivation and how that is, or is not, related to questions of moral justification.
