He argues that the traditional link between morality and principles, or between being moral and having principles, is little more than a mistake. The possibility of moral thought and judgement does not in any way depend on an adequate supply of principles. Dancy grounds this claim on a form of reasons-holism, holding that what is a reason in one case need not be any reason in another, and maintaining that moral reasons are no different in this respect from others. He puts forward a distinctive form of value-holism to go with the holism of reasons, and he gives a detailed discussion, much needed, of the currently popular topic of 'contributory' reasons. Opposing positions of all sorts are summarized and criticized. Ethics Without Principles is the definitive statement of particularist ethical theory, and will be required reading for all those working on moral philosophy and ethical theory.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 233mmItem Length: 157mmItem Width: 14mmGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityAuthor: Jonathan DancyItem Weight: 360gRelease Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
