Description

T. M. Scanlon's Moral Dimensions explores how we assess the moral permissibility of actions and their meaning for others. He argues that these two concepts are distinct, with permissibility depending only on the agent's reasons for acting, while an action's meaning is tied to its significance for those affected. Scanlon's analysis leads to a novel account of moral responsibility and important conclusions about the ethics of blame. By distinguishing between the permissibility of an action and its meaning, he sheds new light on how we respond to others when they act in ways that may be morally questionable. This book offers a thought-provoking examination of fundamental philosophical questions, making it a valuable resource for those interested in ethics and moral philosophy.
