No detailed description available for "Sentiments and Acts".
This book has some of the qualities of a detective story and of a drama. As a drama, it resembles a dialogue between the author and his friends and foes. The book has a beginning, middle, and end that do not correspond to the economical, but quite a historical character of most scientific writing where the literature is reviewed and problems stated, the evidence presented and a conclusion reached. Instead, the beginning is an account of the author's confrontation with a nagging, persistent, and perhaps ultimately insoluble problem that faces every honest researcher - can we explain behaviour by giving evidence of attitudes? The middle develops new leads and materials but never abandons the central characters of the first act. The end, in Pirandello fashion, leaves us with a feeling of illumination, but illumination of the essential paradoxes and difficulties - not the light that breaks on a heroic solution.
Drawing on the example of Deutscher's earlier research as well as cognate work by ethnomethodologists, this volume provides a more complex and valid account of the relationship between what we say and what we do. Going well beyond the interpersonal level, the authors explore the problematics of symbolic language and suggest a relevant line of investigation for those doing applied work in the nexus of human relations. Irwin Deutscher is professor emeritus of sociology at the University of Akron. Fred P. Pestello is President of Le Moyne College. H. Frances G. Pestello is professor and chair of the department of sociology at the University of Dayton.

"An outstanding contribution to psychological anthropology. Its excellent ethnography and its provocative theory make it essential reading for all those concerned with the understanding of human emotions."—Karl G. Heider, American Anthropologist
In this book, Edward Westermarck grounds ethics in the biological underpinnings of emotion and makes arguments for both psychological and ethical relativism. According to Westermarck, conventional moral judgments are based on moral sentiments, which are neutral moral feelings. Because moral standards are rooted in emotion, Westermarck concludes that they cannot be objective.
