This flawed tendency in human nature is pervasive on all levels of society, and affects people from all walks of life - from the philosopher to the pundits and politicians. Covering a wide variety of topics, Moralism takes on such salient issues as the nearly impossible demands of stringent morality, the conflict between morals and other values, and the contrast between the practice of moral philosophy and other modes of moral thought and reflection. In connecting his argument to the world at large, Taylor draws upon examples of moralism in the media, in literature, and in art. This highly original and provocative study will be of interest to students of philosophy, psychology, theology, and media, and to anyone who takes an interest in contemporary morality."--Publisher's website. 650 0 Ethics. 650 0 Judgment (Ethics) 650 7 PHILOSOPHY|xEthics & Moral Philosophy.|2bisacsh 650 7 PHILOSOPHY|xSocial.|2bisacsh 650 7 PHILOSOPHY|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 Ethics.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00915833 650 7 Judgment (Ethics)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00984586 776 08 |iPrint version|z9780773540095|w(DLC) 2012494168 914 ocn881552245 994 93|bGTK
