Description
Ronald Dworkin's comprehensive work explores the idea that value in all its forms is one big question. He argues that truth, life, morality, and justice are different aspects of the same large inquiry. Dworkin develops original theories on various issues, including moral skepticism, literary interpretation, free will, and ancient moral theory, among others. His central claim is that skepticism in all its forms threatens to undermine this unity of value. In response, Dworkin advocates for a new revolution that would make the world of science safe for value. By re-examining the relationship between science and value, Dworkin seeks to restore balance to our understanding of reality, truth, and human existence.
