Description
The Disappearance of Moral Knowledge by Dallas Willard explores a significant shift in Western beliefs and attitudes towards moral knowledge. From the late 19th to the late 20th centuries, philosophy played a crucial role in this change, which ultimately led to the disappearance of moral knowledge as a publicly available resource. Willard examines the shortcomings of various ethical theories and argues that the shift was largely driven by arational social forces, rather than rational argument or discovery. He reviews historical work on moral knowledge, covering thinkers such as T.H Green, G.E Moore, Charles L. Stevenson, John Rawls, and Alasdair MacIntyre. The book concludes with a novel proposal for reclaiming moral knowledge, inspired by the phenomenological approach of Knud Logstrup and Emmanuel Levinas.
