These transformations raise moral questions—questions about how we view ourselves and how we ought to engage with the world in the pursuit of human flourishing. In \u003ci\u003eThe Theory of Deliberative Wisdom\u003c\/i\u003e, Eric Racine puts forward an original interdisciplinary ethics theory that offers both an explanation of the workings of human morality and a model for deliberation-based imaginative processes to tackle moral problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing from a wide array of disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, sociology, political science, neuroscience, and economics, this book offers an engaging account of situated moral agency and of ethical life as the pursuit of human flourishing. Moral experience, Racine explains, is accounted for in the form of situational units—morally problematic situations. These units are, in turn, theorized as actionable and participatory building blocks of moral existence mapping to mechanisms of episodic memory and to the construction of personal identity. Such explanations pave the way for an understanding of the social and psychological mechanisms of the awareness and neglect of morally problematic situations as well as of the imaginative ethical deliberation needed to respond to these situations. Deliberative wisdom is explained as an engaged and ongoing learning process about human flourishing.Preface\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction and Overview\u003cbr\u003e1 Situated Moral Agency and the Ethical Life\u003cbr\u003e2 Deliberative Wisdom and Human Flourishing\u003cbr\u003e3 Situated Moral Experience\u003cbr\u003e4 Morally Problematic Situations: Primary Objects of Moral Experience and Ethics\u003cbr\u003e5 Morally Problematic Situations: Their Open-Ended Nature\u003cbr\u003e6 Morally Problematic Situations: Their Experiential Nature\u003cbr\u003e7 Morally Problematic Situations: Actionable and Participatory Units of Situational Insight\u003cbr\u003e8 Moral and Ethical Awareness\u003cbr\u003e9 Barriers to Moral Awareness and Gateways to Ethical Awareness\u003cbr\u003e10 Scenario-Based Ethical Deliberation and Ethical Imagination\u003cbr\u003e11 Key Moments in Ethical Deliberation\u003cbr\u003e12 Ethical Enactments\u003cbr\u003e13 Evaluating Ethical Enactments\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eReferences\u003cbr\u003eIndex“Eric Racine deftly integrates moral philosophy and social psychology into a distinctive and illuminating account of moral agency. \u003ci\u003eThe Theory of Deliberative Wisdom \u003c\/i\u003eis an original contribution to multidisciplinary discussion of the normative dimensions of human behavior.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Walter Glannon, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Calgary\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“In \u003ci\u003eThe Theory of Deliberative Wisdom\u003c\/i\u003e, Racine provides a powerful new humanistic approach to ethical deliberation.
