Description

Explore the profound connection between human emotion and ethical behavior with Friendship, Altruism and Morality. Originally published in 1980 and now part of the Routledge Revivals series, this work examines the moral value found in altruistic emotions such as compassion, sympathy, and concern. Blum provides a unique perspective by arguing that standard moral theories based on rationality, universal principles, and impersonality fail to capture the true importance of these feelings. This book stands out as a landmark in contemporary moral philosophy for its focus on friendship as a moral phenomenon. It offers a direct challenge to the rationalism found in standard interpretations of Kant, making it an essential read for students and scholars of philosophy and religious studies. By focusing on the significance of emotions, Blum expands the conversation around how we understand duty and human connection.
