Publisher's Synopsis
The Nature of Obligation is a philosophical work by American philosopher John Dewey. In this book, Dewey explores the concept of obligation and its relationship to ethics, social norms, and individual agency. He argues that obligation is not simply a matter of following rules or fulfilling duties, but rather a dynamic process that involves ongoing negotiation and adaptation between individuals and their social environments. Drawing on a range of philosophical and psychological theories, Dewey offers a nuanced and complex view of obligation that emphasizes the importance of context, experience, and practical reasoning. This book is a significant contribution to the field of moral philosophy and is essential reading for anyone interested in the nature of ethical responsibility and social obligation.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Study of Ethics, A Syllabus, by John Dewey.
