Description
Philosophical ethics can be reductive and idealising, but what if we approach it in a different way? Sophie Grace Chappell explores an alternative approach that focuses on developing our moral imagination.
The key to knowing what to do is not a formula or shortcut, but rather a more painstaking process of cultivating our natural human capacities for imagination, open deliberation, and contemplative attention. By doing so, we can develop a richer understanding of the world and our place in it.
