Riker shows how modernity's reigning concept of the self undermines moral life and lays the basis for the epidemic of cheating that is devastating social and economic institutions. He argues that by accepting Kohut's brilliant and original psychoanalytic concept of the self, modernity can have a naturalist account for showing why it is personally good to be a morally good person. 606 $aEthics 606 $aSelf psychology 606 $aPsychology and philosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aSelf psychology. 615 0$aPsychology and philosophy. 676 $a170 700 $aRiker$b John H.$f1943-$0932926 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461393703321 996 $aWhy it is good to be good$92099781 997 $aUNINA
