Values and Valuing: Speculations on the Ethical Life of Persons 1st Edition by Graham Nerlich (PDF)

Description

This provocative book argues that people are naturally endowed with the ability to speak an articulate language and to form a culture. Language and cultural life require self-appraisal, and hence an evolution–through self-conflict–of desires into values. Nerlich demonstrates that this valuing is a natural process, one that underlies the morals of duty and obligation. He concludes that such valuing will be good only if it results in objective values that are authentic to the individual’s nature and surrounding culture.

Editorial Reviews: Review “This important book deserves a wide audience of those advanced undergraduates and graduates already familiar with current theories in philosophical psychology and contemporary moral philosophy.”–Choice From the Back Cover Valuing is a natural process for persons. It underlies the morals of duty and obligation, which can be understood only after valuing is explained. This is the central moral claim of the book. Normal human animals are naturally endowed with certain attributes for being persons, speakers of an articulate language living in a culture.
