Ethical ideals in human practice

This edited collection brings anthropology and philosophy into conversation around a shared question: what moves people to act in accordance with ethical ideals? Its essays approach morality as a central part of human practice, framing ethical life not only as a matter of principles but also as something propelled by human motivations. The interdisciplinary focus gives the volume a clear organizing concern: examining the forces behind moral action through perspectives from both fields.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in the anthropology of morality and ethics in everyday human practice.
  • Those seeking interdisciplinary work connecting anthropology and philosophy.
  • Students or scholars exploring how ethical ideals relate to human action.

Out of this explosion new and invigorating conversations have emerged between anthropologists and philosophers. Moral Engines: Exploring the Ethical Drives in Human Life includes essays from some of the foremost voices in the anthropology of morality, offering unique interdisciplinary conversations between anthropologists and philosophers about the moral engines of ethical life, addressing the question: What propels humans to act in light of ethical ideals?
