Patterns of Moral Complexity

Klappentext In this book Charles Larmore aims to recover three fundamental and pervasive forms of moral complexity that have too often been neglected by moral and political philosophers. The arguments presented here do not attack the possibility of moral theory. But in addressing some of the central issue of moral and political thinking today they attempt to restore to that thinking greater flexibility and a necessary sensitivity to our common experience.
