Lack of Character

Explore the thought-provoking insights of Lack of Character by John M. Doris, published by Cambridge University Press in 2005. This 288-page paperback challenges traditional views of character that have persisted since Aristotle's time. Doris utilizes behavioral science to argue that we often mistakenly attribute our actions to inherent personality traits or fixed characteristics, overlooking the significant influence of situational contexts. This compelling work invites readers to rethink their understanding of ethics, identity, and the self, making it an essential read for anyone interested in philosophy and moral theory. Delve into the complexities of human behavior and discover how our perceptions of character may be fundamentally flawed.
