Reasons and the Good

Viac o knihe

Exploring fundamental questions in moral philosophy, the book delves into the nature of reasons for action, arguing that these reasons should not rely on moral concepts. It combines intuitionist epistemology with Pyrrhonist skepticism to explain how we understand reasons. The author defends a hedonistic theory of well-being and proposes a practical reason framework that allows for some priority of personal good over the collective. Original arguments are presented within a context of traditional yet less popular philosophical views, offering a fresh perspective on normative ethics.
