Cultures around the world have regarded selffulfillment as the ultimate goal of human striving and as the fundamental test of the goodness of a human life. The ideal has also been criticized, however, as egotistical or as so valueneutral that it fails to distinguish between, for example, selffulfilled sinners and selffulfilled saints. Alan Gewirth presents here a systematic and highly original study of selffulfillment that seeks to overcome these and other arguments and to justify the high place that the ideal has been accorded. He does so by developing an ethical theory that ultimately grounds the value of selffulfillment in the idea of the dignity of human beings.Gewirth begins by distinguishing two models of self fulfillmentaspirationfulfillment and capacityfulfillmentand shows how each of these contributes to the intrinsic value of human life. He then distinguishes between three types of moralityuniversalist, particularist, and personalistand shows how each contributes to the values embodied in selffulfillment. Building on these ideas, he develops a Odialectical' conception of reason that shows how human rights are central to selffulfillment. Gewirth also argues that selffulfillment has a social as well as an individual dimension: that the nature of society and the obstacles that disadvantaged groups face affect strongly the character of the selffulfillment that persons can achieve.Bold in scope and rigorous in execution, SelfFulfillment is a powerful new contribution to moral, social, and political philosophy.
