Development: A Brief Philosophical Discourse

Since development is motivationally desirable, it is difficult to distinguish it from moral orientation. In this case, the Greek philosophers considered the purpose of life of the society was virtuousness and ethically they were teleological oriented philosophers. Their moral concern could contribute for utilitarian hedonistic development whereas deontological motive to action has come to be undermined for modernization as development. Even the modern different development theories have been derived from the former assumption. Even if the aspiration was very important for development of human society, unless it is motivated by internal willingness of the society, it could not be effective for societal development of good life. So, we have two options in here to develop with motivational base. Either that we should promote internal motivation of our society for better life or that we should attempt to reconcile the motives of the people and their inclination for development. It seems to be a better reconciliation way of development because we cannot detach the ideas of development from both the desire and motive of human society.
