Description
The history of moral philosophy has been shaped by attempts to identify and defend the correct moral principle. However, over the last two decades, this approach has come under scrutiny from various perspectives. One of the most significant challenges is posed by moral particularists, who argue that principles are either unnecessary or even counterproductive in guiding moral reasoning and action. Moral Principles offers a comprehensive examination of the current debate between particularists and generalist approaches to morality. The book presents a novel account of the role of principles in our moral thought and action, providing a nuanced understanding of this complex issue. By exploring the strengths and limitations of both perspectives, Moral Principles provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion about the nature of morality and its relationship to principles.
