Opis

Moralism involves the distortion of moral thought, the distortion of reflection and judgement. It is a vice, and one to which many are highly susceptible. This book examines the nature of moralism in specific moral judgements and the ways in which moral philosophy and theories about morality can themselves become skewed by this vice.
