Opis

This collection provides a focused and comprehensive discussion of the the moral demandingness objection, the principle "ought implies can," and the ways these two ideas relate to one another, while also taking a closer look at the consequences for the limits of moral normativity in general. Chapters engage with contemporary discussions surrounding "ought implies can" as well as current debates on moral demandingness, and argue that applying the moral demandingness objection to the entire range of normative ethical theories also calls for an analysis of its (metaethical) presuppositions.

Recenzje
