Description: This collection brings together original essays in ethics and moral psychology, philosophy of mind, action, and language, which reflect on the nature of moral phenomena and our understanding of morality. By focusing on actual moral discourse and practices in their particular contexts they call into question traditional assumptions about moral agency, the sense and foundation of moral obligation, the nature of moral judgement and disagreement, and the aims of moral philosophy itself.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 475-486) and index.
