Description
This book explores a particular moral theory - motivation ethics - and its potential compatibility with other approaches to evaluating actions, agents, and institutions.
Most moral theories focus on one or two of these aspects, offering arguments against rival views. In contrast, this book asks whether the evaluation of one object can be compatible with an acceptable account of another. For example, if a theory determines which actions are right or wrong, it may also need to address what it means for an agent to be morally good or bad.
The author examines why some prominent theories struggle to reconcile these different perspectives and argues that a motivation-based approach might provide a more comprehensive solution.
