Description
This book explores the nature of moral reasons and their role in guiding our actions. It begins by examining why we should consider the distinction between right and wrong, and how we can learn from our experiences to develop a deeper understanding of morality.
Jonathan Dancy argues that there are more types of moral reasons than consequentialist theories can account for, and mounts an attack on consequentialism in ethics. He presents a realist view of ethics, which posits the existence of facts about right and wrong.
The book's central argument is that moral reasons can be combined in various ways to inform our decisions, and that this approach offers a more nuanced understanding of morality than consequentialist theories.
