Public and intellectual debates have always struggled with the concept of values and the difficulty of defining them. With "Genesis," famous theorist Hans Goss explores the nature of these difficulties with regard to some prominent figures in 20th century philosophy and social theory: Friedrich Nietzsche, William James, Max Schiller, John Dewey, George Simel, and Charles Taylor.
And J rgen Habermas. Joe traces how these thinkers deal with the idea of values, and then extends further with his own comprehensive theory.
Suggested values, Joas suggests, arise in experiments in self-formation and self-transcendence. Only by appreciating the creative nature of human action can we understand how our values arise..
