About this title

Synopsis

The Rational Good: A Study In The Logic Of Practice is a book written by L.T. Hobhouse and originally published in 1921. The book explores the concept of the rational good and how it relates to human behavior and decision-making. Hobhouse argues that the rational good is not simply a matter of individual preference or desire, but rather a product of social norms, values, and institutions. He examines the role of reason and emotion in shaping human behavior and argues that both are necessary for a truly rational approach to the good life. The book also discusses the importance of social and political institutions in promoting the rational good and creating a just and equitable society. Overall, The Rational Good is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of human rationality and its relationship to ethics, politics, and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
