Abstract

For the moment, we shift gears. Having investigated the constitution of the Ego and the Other, we eventually want to turn to the ethical implications of such a social ontology. I begin, though, with an inquiry into the nature of moral action and the degree to which being moral is a necessary human way of being as opposed to a voluntary choice made in certain situations.
