The Daoist, critical of the Confucian and Mohist discourses of their time, provides an account of morality that can best be understood as achieving an attunement to situations through the cultivation of habits. Furthermore, Daoism's meta-ethical insights outline how moral philosophy, when theorized in a way that ignores our fundamental interdependence, devolves into moralistic narcissism. Another way of putting this, as the \u003ci\u003eDaodejing\u003c\/i\u003e states perfectly, is that \"those who act ruin it\" (). Sensitive to this problem, the Daoist account of moral attunement can ameliorate social woes and not \"ruin things.\" In their moral attunement, Daoists can spontaneously respond to situations in ways that are sensitive to the underlying interdependence of all things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJacob Bender \u003c\/b\u003eis Hua-Shan Associate Professor of Philosophy at Xidian University, Xi'an.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 237\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 02, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755417108768,"sku":"9781438498577","price":59.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/af44eb19bac8760bd785b02cfa31fe78_bb86b140-364b-473f-995d-02e78e45c610.webp?v=1780058359","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/those-who-act-ruin-it-a-daoist-account-of-moral-attunement-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
