From Enlightenment to Receptivity: Rethinking Our Values
Slote, Michael (UST Professor of Ethics, UST Professor of Ethics, University of Miami)
This new book by Michael Slote argues that Western philosophy on the whole has overemphasized rational control and autonomy at the expense of the important countervailing value and virtue of receptivity. Recently the ideas of caring and empathy have received a great deal of philosophical and public attention, but both these notions rest on the deeper and broader value of receptivity, and in From Enlightenment to Receptivity, Slote seeks to show that we needto focus more on receptivity if we are to attain a more balanced sense and understanding of what is important to us.
