Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The essays in this collection share a consistent theme running through much of Narveson's moral and political philosophy: namely that politics and morals stem from the interests of individual people and have no antecedent authority over us. Rather, the source of such authority lies in the way people are related to one another and, most especially, in the exigencies of co-operation. Narveson maintains that humans deal with their problems by identifying the potential for gain from co-operation and loss from the reverse. These essays express a collective antipathy for the ways in which modern political and moral philosophy has ridden roughshod over sane and efficient social restrictions, leaving us with a social scene devoted mainly to satisfying the cravings for power of the politically ambitious. Politics, Narveson argues with distress, has subverted morals. The essays in this collection, in various ways and as applied to different aspects of the scene, details these charges, arguing that the ultimate and true point of politics and morals is to enable us to make our lives better, according to our varied senses of what that might mean. The essays in this collection share a consistent theme running through much of Narveson's moral and political philosophy: namely that politics and morals stem from the interests of individual people and that the authority for these concepts comes from the exigencies of co-operation.
