This volume presents new research on the role narrative plays in the cultivation of virtue. The chapters demonstrate how recent work from the philosophy of mind and action concerning our understanding of the self can shed new light on the nature of practical wisdom and human flourishing.
As champions of deontology and consequentialism respectively, Kant and Sidgwick disagree on many important issues. However, close examination reveals a surprising amount of consensus on various topics including moral psychology, moral epistemology, and moral theology.
The way an individual's psychology is intertwined with their morality is the subject of this book.
A fascinating and original examination of the main debate in Kant's moral theory: whether moral actions have worth only if they are carried out from duty. It will appeal to Kant scholars and anyone interested in moral theory.
Presents a comparative study of the virtue ethics of Aristotle and Confucius. This book explores how they each reflect upon human good and virtue out of their respective cultural assumptions, conceptual frameworks, and philosophical perspectives.
Contributes to existing literature on normative ethics with three discussions: the contrast between pragmatic and principled ethical views, discussion of diverse literature, and the idea that pattern-based reasons can be used to understand the pro-pragmatic and the pro-principled intuitions.
Offers answers to both normative and metaethical questions in a way that shows the interconnection of both types of questions, and also shows how a complete theory of reasons can be developed by moving back and forth between the two types of questions. This book combines attention to the details of the lived moral life.
Analyses ethics as a practice, explains why we have three moral theory-types, consequentialism, deontology and virtue ethics, and argues for a fourth needs-based theory.
This is a highly original and radical critique of contemporary moral theory. Paul Johnston skillfully demonstrates how much of recent moral philosophy runs aground on the issue of whether we can make correct judgements.
Focuses on the ethics of treating individuals as though they are members of groups. This book raises many questions, including: Why do we feel more strongly about discrimination on certain grounds than discrimination on other grounds? And more. It is useful for students of philosophy, especially those with an interest in applied ethics.
We are strongly inclined to believe in moral responsibility - the idea that certain human agents truly deserve moral praise or blame for some of their actions. Presenting the arguments for scepticism about moral responsibility, this title lays out the intricate dialectic involved in these issues.
This book brings together new essays that explore the connection between love and reasons. Love, Reason and Morality will be of interest to philosophers working on issues of normativity, meta-ethics and moral psychology, and especially those interested in the source of practical reasons and the role of emotions in practical deliberation.
This book provides an explicitly intersectional feminist approach to moral responsibility. It will be of interest to philosophers working across moral responsibility, feminist philosophy, critical race theory, and intersectionality.
This book honours the pioneering work of Cora Diamond, one of the most important living moral philosophers. It develops and deepens a picture of moral philosophy by carrying out new work in what Diamond has called the realistic spirit.
