Introduction

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book explores about moral agency personalism was inspired by “Boston Personalism,” a sprig of the varied line of personalist philosophy that is cousin to Jamesian Pragmatism. The work of Critical Theory in its first broad phase was in one respect a project in the philosophy of history. The moral life of all persons has historical courses not yet invigilated by historians, not only one or many established historiographic forms. Moral personhood is a trans-temporal endeavor in which the agent moves across time, resuming the moral force of the deeds, thoughts, and consequences of past actors according to her own responsibility. The book addresses the general situation of the field and the directions in which it has grown stronger and deeper in the last decades.
