Moral Knowledge and Ethical Character

Klappentext Robert Audi here presents an ethical theory that uniquely integrates naturalistic and rationalistic elements. He develops his theory in four areas: moral epistemology! the metaphysics of ethics! moral psychology! and the foundations of ethics. Including both new and published work! he sets forth a moderate intuitionism! clarifies the relation between reason and motivation! constructs a theory of intrinsic value and its place in moral obligation! and presents asophisticated account of moral justification. The concluding chapter articulates a new normative framework built from both Kantian and intuitionist elements. Zusammenfassung A unified collection of published and unpublished papers by Robert Audi which present a wide-ranging position in moral epistemology and a related account of reasons for action and their bearing on the justification of moral judgments and the structure of moral character.
