A Social Ontology
David Weissman
Moral and social philosophers often
assume that human beings are and
ought to be autonomous. This tradi¬
tion of individualism, or atomism,
underlies many of our assumptions
about ethics and law; it provides a
legitimating framework for liberal
democracy and free market capital¬
ism. In this powerful book. David
Weissman argues against atomistic
ontologies, affirming instead that all
of reality is social. Every particular
is a system created by the reciprocal
causal relations of its parts, he
explains. Weissman formulates an
original metaphysics of nature that
remains true to what is know
η
through the empirical sciences, and
he applies his hypothesis to a range
of topics in psychology, morals,
sociology, and politics.
The author contends that systems
are sometimes mutually independ¬
ent, but many systems
—
human ones
especially
—
are joined in higher
order systems, such as families,
friendships, businesses, and states,
that are overlapping or nested.
Weissman tests this schematic
claim with empirical examples in
chapters on persons, sociality, and
value. He also considers how the
scheme applies to particular issues
related to deliberation, free speech.
conflict, and ecology.
David Weissman is professor of phi¬
losophy at City College of New York.
He is the author of Truth s Debt to
Value and the editor of
René
Descartes Discourse on Method and
Meditations on First Philosophy,
both published by Yale University
Printed in the U.S.A.
This is a work in the grand manner.
It is in the class of works by the
great metaphysicians of the past.
Weissman presents and defends a
world hypothesis to be considered
alon
f
those of the standard
figures he criticizes
