Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?

This book is ideal for professional philosophers and advanced students specialising in moral theory, ethics, or related fields who seek to engage deeply with contemporary debates on moral particularism and generalist approaches.

Containing eleven essays covering a broad range of topics, this book addresses developments in particularist moral theory.

Description

Particularism is a justly popular ‘cutting-edge’ topic in contemporary ethics across the world. Many moral philosophers do not, in fact, support particularism, instead defending generalist theories that rest on particular abstract moral principles. However, nearly all would take it to be a position that continues to offer serious lessons and challenges that cannot be safely ignored.

Given the high standard of the contributions, and the fact that this is a subject where lively debate continues to flourish, Challenging Moral Particularism will become required reading for professionals and advanced students working in the area.
