Ethical Intuitionism: Re-evaluations by Philip Stratton-Lake (English) Hardcover

Description: Ethical Intuitionism by Philip Stratton-Lake Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Ethical Intuitionists believe that there is an irreducible plurality of basic moral principles, that these principles are self-evident, and that rightness and goodness are indefinable properties which cannot be understood in naturalistic terms. In this collection of essays moral philosophers consider how these views are to be understood. Publisher Description Ethical Intuitionism was the dominant moral theory in Britain for much of the 18th, 19th and the first third of the twentieth century. However, during the middle decades of the twentieth century ethical intuitionism came to be regarded as utterly untenable. It was thought to be either empty, or metaphysically and epistemologically extravagant, or both. This hostility led to a neglect of the central intuitionist texts, and encouraged the growth of a caricature ofintuitionism that could easily be rejected before moving on to more serious philosophical theories. More recently, however, this hostility towards ethical intuitionism hassubsided. A wide range of moral philosophers, from Aristotelians, to rule-consequentialists, to expressivists, Kantians and deontologists, are beginning to look to the ethical intuitionistss work as a positive resource. It is, therefore, a good time to get clear on what it was that intuitionists said, and re-evaluate their contribution to our understanding of morality. This volume is the first serious engagement with ethical intuitionism in the light of contemporarydevelopments in ethical theory. It contains essays by eminent moral philosophers working in very different traditions whose aim is to clarify and assess ethical intuitionism. Issues addressed includewhether the plurality of basic principles intuitionists adhere to can be grounded in some more fundamental principle; the autonomy of ethics and self-evidence; moral realism and internalism; and the open question argument and naturalism.
