Description
Stephen Darwall presents a series of essays that explore the idea that central moral concepts are rooted in mutual accountability and the authority to address demands. This collection of works delves into various issues in moral, political, and legal philosophy. The author examines morality's distinctiveness among normative concepts, the nature of autonomy, and the relationship between moral obligation and the law. He also discusses the role of second-personal authority in shaping our understanding of agency, dignity, and the grounds for distinctions within the law. Through his analysis, Darwall illustrates the power of a second-personal framework to illuminate complex issues in ethics, jurisprudence, and politics. This book is an important contribution to ongoing debates in these fields.
