Description

Reasonably Vicious by Candace Vogler explores the nature of practical reason and its relationship to ethics. The author examines why some individuals engage in unethical conduct, arguing that this requires a deeper understanding of practical good and the source or point of wrongdoing.

Vogler's work builds on the ideas of scholars such as Aquinas and Elizabeth Anscombe, developing a systematic theory of immorality that takes seriously the goods at issue in wrongdoing. She argues that this theory provides a framework for categorizing reasons for acting, but also leaves room for controversy when it comes to determining whether wrongdoing is necessarily contrary to reason.

This book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking examination of practical reason and ethics, making it a valuable resource for scholars and readers interested in philosophy.
