Why It Is Good to Be Good

Meer over het boek

Exploring the impact of modernity on moral life, John H. Riker argues that contemporary views of the self contribute to widespread cheating in society. He draws on Kohut's psychoanalytic concept of the self to provide a naturalistic explanation for why being morally good is beneficial on a personal level. The book delves into the relationship between self-concept and ethical behavior, highlighting the need for a reevaluation of modern values to restore integrity in social and economic institutions.
