Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Morality. History. CommunityBy RdngtvtyVery helpful study of the relationship between morality and history. As far as the Kant emphasis goes. Eldridges book reminded me of a growing body of work (Louden. Munzel) that powerfully overturns the old caricature of Kant as an empty formalist of a moral philosopher. Here with Eldridge the focus is on how communities and historical forces work gradually and conjecturally toward the formation of a moral commonwealth. The Benjamin discussions are also very helpful. and the relation between the two is where Eldridge comes to shine as a kind of mediator or seminar leader for a rather important conversation concerning the conflicting historical ("contingently" thrown) and moral ("universal" end-setting) nature of human beings.
