Human Nature and Conduct - Part 3, The Place of Intelligence In Conduct
by John Dewey
'Human Nature and Conduct - Part 3, The Place of Intelligence In Conduct' Summary
In "Human Nature and Conduct: Part 3, The Place of Intelligence in Conduct," John Dewey dives deep into the intricate relationship between human intelligence and ethical conduct. He asserts that our habits, far from being mere automatic responses, are integral to our very being, forming the core of our self. He further connects habits with the concept of will, suggesting that our ingrained patterns of action are directly intertwined with our capacity to make conscious decisions. Dewey introduces the concept of "dramatic rehearsal," a mental process through which individuals anticipate potential outcomes of their actions and assess the moral implications of their choices. He explores the intricate connection between aims, goals, means, and ends, emphasizing how emotions play a significant role in shaping our decisions. Through a detailed analysis of the intellectual and emotional processes involved in ethical decision-making, Dewey sheds light on the crucial role that intelligence plays in navigating moral dilemmas and shaping our conduct.Book Details
