Excerpt from The Rational Good: A Study in the Logic of Practice
The following chapters were originally written in 1908 - 9, in amplification of a sketch of ethical theory contained in my Morals in Evolution, which had been published three years earlier. I was not, however, satisfied with the result, and put the manuscript aside for several years. It has now been almost entirely re-written. My Obliga tions to various writers on Psychology and Ethics will be manifest, but the general theory which most nearly corresponds to the central doctrine of the work is one which I heard expounded in a paper read In New York in 1911 by a distinguished lecturer on Ethics, and have never met with again in print. Mr. J. A. Hobson kindly read the work in its original form, and made many valuable criticisms. Mr. A. W. Perris has performed the same service to the revised work, and several alterations and additions are due to his sugges tions. I have also to thank him for revising the proofs.

Excerpt from The Rational Good: A Study in the Logic of Practice
Chapter III.
The Rational
(1) The rational judgment is that which is consistent, grounded and objective, the first two characters being the test of the third. (2) The search for grounds leads up to immediate judgments both particular and general. Particular immediate judgments, however, are not indubitably true, but are corroborated by interconnexion. (3) Immediate general judgments likewise require interconnexion. (4) Interconnectedness is in fact the rational basis of belief. (5) The grounds on which interconnexion rests are universal relations. (6) The principles of interconnexion rest on the consilience of all consistent acts of inference. (7) The rational in cognition is then the effort to attain truth by the persistent interconnexion of judgments through universal relations.
Chapter IV
The Good
(1) Is there any reason in the choice of ultimate ends, i.e. is there a Rational Good? (2) Generically the Good appears as a harmony (mutual support) of feeling and effort, (3) or of feeling and passive experience including, e.g., observation of the behaviour of another. Generically pleasure is feeling in harmony and pain in disharmony. (4) The fact asserted by the judgment "This is Good" is thus a relation between an experience and a feeling. Either element may be called good as pertaining to the whole.
Chapter V
The Rational Good
(1) The Rational Good must be a consistent scheme of purposes interconnected by universal relations in which subjective disturbance is eliminated, (2) This involves a dual harmony of feeling with feeling and of feeling with experience. (3) There may be internal consistency from a more partial point of view but rationality involves universalism, i.e. a system comprehending the whole world of all minds in a single scheme.

The Rational Good: A Study in the Logic of Practice (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a philosophical exploration of the connection between human action and reason, arguing that reason is not detached from our motivations and emotions but rather emerges from and interacts with them. Despite the general assumption that our actions are primarily driven by impulses and emotions, the author argues that reason plays a crucial role in shaping and directing our behavior. The author examines the complex relationship between impulse and reason, showing how impulses are not simply blind forces but are informed by anticipations of ends and desires, and how reason, in turn, is not merely an abstract faculty but is embedded in our emotional lives. The book also explores the historical and literary context of the philosophical debate on reason and action, and delves into the broader implications of its insights for our understanding of human nature and the nature of morality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330221884_0
