THE ETHICS OF ENERGY - SERGIO FRANZESE GEBUNDEN

William James's moral philosophy is neither a remaking of utilitarianism nor it is a theory of
values as it is assumed by the majority of his interpreters. Instead James offers an ethical
view consistently arising out of valorization of energy of his days  and effecting a
counter-tendency to the two great popular scientific currents of the 19th century: the
universalizing of Darwinism and the pessimistic ideologies of social entropy. James's ethics
moves away from the traditional idealistic or utilitarian grounds and takes place against the
background of an up-and-coming philosophical anthropology hinged on the primacy of action.
Human activity  however  needs to be understood in relation to Energy as the fabric of the
universe pervading the whole spectrum of being in a continuum in which humanity and divinty are
strictly intertwined.
