In Why It Is Good to be Good, John H. 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.

John H. Riker, PhD, is professor of philosophy at Colorado College. His publications include Ethics and the Discovery of the Unconscious, Human Excellence and an Ecological Conception of the Psyche, and The Art of Ethical Thinking.
