Summary:
"In this fascinating look at the philosophy of self-esteem, Richard Keshen develops and defends the idea of reasonable self-esteem - a concept based on an ideal of reasonableness - and argues that individuals who think of themselves in terms of this paradigm will lead happier and more fulfilling lives. A set of guidelines for analysing self-esteem and various factors that influence our self-esteem, such as other people's evaluations, comparisons with others, social relationships, and inherent qualities. The author asserts that self-esteem not founded on individual achievement leads to a continual search for external supports and is easily shaken when such supports are not found. A key element is the idea of egalitarian respect and how we can integrate this idea into our lives. Demonstrates the attraction of a life in which reasonableness is a central commitment. For those with an interest in philosophy, ethics, and moral psychology. Richard Keshen is professor emeritus of philosophy at University College of Cape Breton"--Provided by publisher.
