Good and Evil: A New Direction : a Forceful Attack on the Rationalistic Tradition in Ethics

This unique volume, written by one of America's most distinguished philosophers, relates the distinction between good and evil - together with all morality - to human feelings, needs, desires, and purposes, rather than to human reason and intelligence. It shows that we are desirous as well as rational beings, and that all morality arises from this deeper facet of our nature.
