Description

Explore the moral value of human connection with Friendship, Altruism and Morality (Routledge Revivals). Originally published in 1980, this work examines altruistic emotions such as compassion, sympathy, and concern. The author, Blum, argues that standard moral theories centered on rationality, universal principles, and impersonality fail to capture the true importance of these feelings. As one of the first books in contemporary moral philosophy to focus on the moral significance of emotions, this text treats friendship as a distinct moral phenomenon. It offers a unique challenge to the rationalism found in standard interpretations of Kant through its discussion of sentimentalism. This Routledge edition provides a deep look into how emotions and friendships shape our understanding of morality.
