Opis

This book's aim is to advance methodological thinking in ethics beyond reflective equilibrium. The chapters investigate the prospects of empirical ethics, outline new methods of ethics, evaluate recent methodological advances, and explore whether different areas of moral philosophy are methodologically continuous or independent of one another.

Recenzje

"The methodology of philosophy, in general, has been the subject of intense discussion in recent years, with valuable new ideas and positions emerging from these debates. However, the methodology of moral philosophy, in particular, has not received the same kind of renewed and focused attention. This volume rectifies that omission by bringing together an excellent collection of essays on moral methodology. Some of these essays shed new light on old issues but the main focus is on new methods and ideas. Anyone interested in understanding, and evaluating, the methods we use in ethical theorizing will want to read this book." – Yuri Cath, La Trobe University, Australia
