The Nature Of Obligation

The Nature of Obligation is a philosophical work written by John Dewey. In this book, Dewey explores the concept of obligation and its relationship to morality. He argues that obligation is not simply a matter of following rules or laws, but is instead rooted in the social and cultural context in which it arises. Dewey examines the different types of obligations that exist, including those that are self-imposed, those that are imposed by others, and those that are imposed by society as a whole. He also discusses the role of obligation in shaping our moral values and beliefs, and how it can be used to promote social justice and equality. Throughout the book, Dewey draws on examples from history, literature, and everyday life to illustrate his points and make his arguments more accessible to readers. Overall, The Nature of Obligation is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a fundamental aspect of human morality and social interaction.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Study of Ethics, A Syllabus, by John Dewey.
