Tradition, Agency, and the Shape of the Good
A Systematic Reconstruction of Moral PhilosophyBy William Gomes
Length2h 34m
About this audiobook
Tradition, Agency, and the Shape of the Good offers a rigorous and systematic reconstruction of moral philosophy for a fragmented age. In this extended philosophical study, William Gomes examines the collapse of shared moral language, the limits of abstract ethical theory, and the enduring question of how a human life may achieve coherence.
Moving beyond rule-based models and sceptical relativism, the book develops a structured account of agency, character, justice, tradition, and reflective life. It explores the formation of moral identity within social practices and institutions, the tension between action and contemplation, and the fragility of moral order in modern societies.
This work presents a unified vision of human flourishing grounded in disciplined reason, historical awareness, and the integration of moral, civic, and intellectual excellence.
