Description
Understanding Moral Knowledge: A Philosophical Exploration Moral epistemology is a fundamental problem in philosophy that has been debated for centuries. It examines our understanding of virtue and vice, and how we can be certain about right and wrong. This book provides an introduction to the subject, covering key topics such as methods, theories of knowledge, and the views of prominent philosophers including Locke, Hume, Kant, and many others. The author argues that our belief in moral knowledge can survive sceptical challenges, drawing on a range of examples from philosophy and everyday life. With annotated further reading at the end of each chapter, Moral Epistemology is an essential resource for students of ethics, epistemology, and moral psychology.
