Ethics without principles by
Jonathan Dancy(
Book
)
33 editions published between 2004 and 2012 in English and Undetermined and held by 775 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Jonathan Dancy presents an exposition and defence of particularism in ethics, a view with which he has been associated for twenty years. 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 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."--Jacket

Uneasy virtue by
Julia Driver(
)
2 editions published between 2001 and 2005 in English and held by 469 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The predominant view of moral virtue can be traced back to Aristotle. He believed that moral virtue must involve intellectual excellence. To have moral virtue one must have practical wisdom - the ability to deliberate well and to see what is morally relevant in a given context. Julia Driver challenges this classical theory of virtue, arguing that it fails to take into account virtues which do seem to involve ignorance or epistemic defect. Some 'virtues of ignorance' are counterexamples to accounts of virtue which hold that moral virtue must involve practical wisdom. Modesty, for example, is generally considered to be a virtue even though the modest person may be making an inaccurate assessment of his or her accomplishments. Driver argues that we should abandon the highly intellectualist view of virtue and instead adopt a consequentialist perspective which holds that virtue is simply a character trait which systematically produces good consequences

Practical shape : a theory of practical reasoning by
Jonathan Dancy(
)
13 editions published between 2018 and 2020 in English and held by 300 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
It is widely accepted that we can reason to a new belief from beliefs that we already have. Aristotle thought that we could also reason from beliefs to action. Many philosophers have disregarded Aristotle's claim, but Jonathan Dancy aims to establish the possibility of reasoning to action, by showing how similar such reasoning is to reasoning to belief. He offers a general theory of reasoning which is Aristotelian in spirit, and which smoothly admits the differences there may be between reasoning to action and reasoning to belief, while also considering the possibility of reasoning to hope, to fear, to doubt, and to intention

Normativity by Ratio Conference(
Book
)
15 editions published between 1999 and 2000 in English and Spanish and held by 259 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This volume contains the papers given at the 1998 Ratio conference on normativity. The speakers were Derek Parfit, Peter Railton and John Skorupski, who at the last minute took the place of Joseph Raz. Derek Parfit turned out not to be able to offer his paper for publication, but the volume is enhanced by contributions from Frank Jackson, John Broome and Christopher Hookway, together with the paper that Joseph Raz would have given had he been able. Topics discussed in the papers include: What is the nature of normative force (Railton)? Is normativity itself subject to sceptical attack (Raz)? What are the relations between moral and epistemic normativity (Hookway)? How best should we understand the nature of a normative requirement (Broome)? Can there be an expressivist conception of epistemic normativity (Jackson)? Can we suppose that there are normative beliefs or judgements without admitting the existence of normative facts (Skorupski)? These differences in individual focus do not prevent there being many interesting interconnections, and disagreements, between the papers in this volume

A companion to epistemology(
Book
)
15 editions published between 1992 and 2010 in English and held by 36 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Epistemology - the theory of knowledge and of justified belief - has always been of central importance in philosophy. Progress in other areas of philosophical research has often depended crucially on epistemological presuppositions. This Companion, with well over 250 articles ranging from summary discussions to major essays on topics of current controversy, is the first complete reference work devoted to the subject. All the main theoretical positions in epistemology are discussed and analysed, together with the different categories of knowledge itself - scientific, historical, mathematical, a priori, moral, and so on - and the special problems associated with these. There are also many entries covering individual concepts, arguments and problems, short definitions of technical terms, and biographical articles." "With its unrivalled coverage of the field, supported by a comprehensive index and an extensive system of cross-referencing, the Companion is likely to remain the standard reference work in epistemology from undergraduate level upward for the foreseeable future."--Résumé de l'éditeur
