A restless age demands answers not from the clouds, but from the ground beneath our feet-where action, value, and duty meet. In a world where ethical conviction collides with economic necessity, few works have dared to untangle the profound questions at the heart of practical philosophy. This searching treatise brings readers face to face with the enduring puzzles of moral philosophy, asking what it means to act, to choose, and to weigh the worth of our decisions in both personal and social spheres. Moving with clarity and depth through the intricacies of economic philosophy and the philosophy of ethics, the text draws upon the rich tradition of twentieth-century Italian thought. It explores how practical reason shapes the world we build, and how our actions-whether motivated by profit, principle, or passion-reflect the tangled relationship between ethics and economics. Every page invites reflection on the nature of value: not as an abstract ideal, but as a living force animating our daily choices and the societies we create. For those drawn to the philosophy of action, this volume offers a compelling investigation into the motives and consequences behind human conduct. It is a work that does not shy away from complexity, yet remains lucid and accessible, making it essential reading for anyone fascinated by economic ethics theory and the enduring dialogue between what is right and what is real. Collectors and classic-library enthusiasts will appreciate how this work stands as a touchstone of Croce philosophy, bridging the gap between scholarly insight and the practical realities that shape our lives. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations.
