Abstract:

Common-sense morality implicitly assumes that reasonably clear distinctions can be drawn between the ‘full’ moral status usually attributed to ordinary adult humans, the partial moral status attributed to non-human animals, and the absence of moral status, usually ascribed to machines and other artefacts. These assumptions were always subject to challenge; but they now come under renewed pressure because there are beings we are now able to create, and beings we may soon be able to create, which blur traditional distinctions between humans, non-human animals, and non-biological beings.

Abstract:

This chapter positions moral education as concordant with the moral component of religion, but does not equate moral education with socialization into the particular norms or conventions of any specific faith tradition. Research findings have revealed that deeply religious children and adolescents make a similar set of distinctions between religious conventions and moral prescriptions regarding fairness and the welfare of others. This research forms the basis of a critique of the proposition that religiously devout people maintain a separate “morality of divinity.” The chapter reviews research

Abstract:

This chapter lays out several alternative understandings of moral progress found in the contemporary literature of analytical moral and political philosophy. None of these amounts to a theory of moral progress, but each is suggestive of some of the building blocks for constructing such a theory. Among the accounts considered are those offered by Peter Singer, Ruth Macklin, Philip Kitcher, and Peter Railton. A taxonomy of types of views is provided, utilizing the following distinctions: monistic (reductionist) versus pluralistic, static versus dynamic, and better norm compliance versus function

Abstract:

Advocates for a serious right to bear arms claim that this right is extremely valuable, primarily because it is a vital means of self-defense. Before we can understand precisely what this claim means, and how we might evaluate it, I offer a broad framework of rights. I first identify two key features of rights that illuminate the function of rights talk in moral and political discourse. Then I summarize and briefly explore two important distinctions about the nature and value of rights: the first is the difference between fundamental and derivative rights; the second, the distinction between p

Abstract:

This chapter begins by marking the distinction between reliabilism and responsibilism in virtue epistemology. It then charts the development of virtue responsibilism through a number of authors, noting the subtle distinctions in their views. Varieties of virtue responsibilism are distinguished first, by their characterization of the intellectual virtues, and second, by the role (if any) they assign to the intellectual virtues in defining knowledge. A number of arguments against defining knowledge with reference to the intellectual virtues are surveyed. Situationism is then presented as a gener

Abstract:

The book’s primary aim is to set out an account of how the moral community—the community of all persons—can fill in gaps in morality that result from indeterminacies in objective morality by authoritatively adopting new moral norms. “Morality” is here taken to refer to the norms binding on all persons, making no distinctions purely on the basis of person’s particular identities (as distinct from their features). Reducing indeterminacies in morality stands as a potential source of moral progress—one quite distinct from that of reducing our moral ignorance. Moral indeterminacy can arise in relat

Abstract:

The distinction between moral and intellectual virtues was widely accepted by ancient and medieval philosophers. And until relatively recently, most agreed that there is a genuine distinction to be marked here, even if they disagreed as to how this distinction should be drawn. But some now think that there is no real difference between these putative kinds at all, and that all attempts to explain the difference fail. This is the line taken by Linda Zagzebski, for instance, in Virtues of the Mind. This chapter assesses whether different accounts—some traditional, some contemporary—can indeed di

Abstract:

Experimental research demonstrates that moral judgment involves both conscious and unconscious reasoning or inference that is not mere post-hoc rationalization. The evidence suggests in particular that we treat as morally significant more than the consequences of a person’s actions, including characteristically deontological distinctions between: intentional vs. accidental outcomes, actions vs. omissions, and harming as a means vs. a byproduct (familiar from the Doctrine of Double Effect). And the relevant empirical evidence relies on more than responses to unrealistic moral dilemmas character

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the nature of moral realism, identifying desiderata that the view defended here (Compassionate Moral Realism) needs to meet. First, the general idea behind the moral realism/anti-realism distinction is described, drawing on Geoffrey Sayre-McCord’s work: the issue of whether morality lives up to its apparent importance and objectivity. Several approaches to defining the distinction are described and clarified. These approaches concern paradigmatic views, the literal truth of moral claims, stance-independent moral facts, and (drawing on Sharon Street’s work) an epistemic a

It comments on the distinctions, and connections, between purity discourses and purity rituals, and suggests paradigms of “battle” and “truce” as an alternative to “moral” and “ritual” purity.

Abstract:

In regulating people’s individual behavior in the interests of the group, morality permits group members to reap considerable benefits, but sometimes at the expense of nonmembers. Thus, morality involves an inherent tension between hypo-egoicism at the level of the individual and hyper-egoicism at the group level. This chapter describes and contrasts the hypo-egoic and hyper-egoic aspects of morality, their varied manifestations, and their development. The model of moral motives provides an expanded view of morality by describing the role of proscriptive and prescriptive morality in regulating

Midway through his reign, in the critical decade of the 1680s, the lusty image of Louis XIV paled and was replaced by that of a straitlaced monarch committed to locking up blasphemers, debtors, gamblers, and prostitutes in wretched, foul-smelling prisons that dispensed ample doses of Catholic-Reformation virtue. The author demonstrates how this attack on sin expressed the punitive social policy of the French Catholic Reformation and how Louis's actions clarified the legal and moral distinctions between crime and sin. As a hot-blooded young prince, Louis XIV paid little attention to virtue or t

This chapter aims to relate Hume’s discussion of liberty and necessity to central themes in his philosophy, including causation, the self, the distinction between virtue and vice, and naturalism as a response to skepticism. From this perspective, many points of contact with contemporary discussions of free will and moral responsibility emerge. Hume’s account of moral responsibility, with its implications for the conditions under which ascriptions of responsibility are withheld or qualified, is considered in detail.

Individual reasons are generated through the direct application of concern- and respect-derived norms to your actions as an individual consumer; participatory reasons, from norms of cooperation. Various distinguishable reasons of these two broad types can be derived in different ways from the foundations of morality. The importance o

This chapter argues that subjects can be in touch with things outside their immediate environment, and applies this conclusion to compassion. Three cases of being in touch with spatial properties are considered, in which subjects “see in their mind’s eye,” episodically remember, and vividly anticipate properties of objects. Though none of these states are perceptions in the familiar sense, it is argued that they share some of perception’s irreplaceable epistemic goodness. Differences in being in touch are then found to coincide with intuitive moral distinctions in cases in which agents are or

Some theorists oppose deference not because it is haphazard but because it is incompatible with respect for fundamental rights.

To this effect, it defends a distinction between moral and constitutional rights. Drawing on TM Scanlon’s controversial theory of rights it maintains that constitution

On the one hand, personal dignity involves self-respect while social and status dignity involve the respect of others. On

The aim of Shoemaker’s distinction is to explicate how impairments of capacity with respect to one or more of these dimensions affect agents’ eligibility for moral responsibility ascriptions.

This paper argues, by contrast, that culpable negligence can be a serious moral and political wrong and non-negligence is a significant moral virtue.

However, since some of what has been called ‘Grotian’ is not much more than a standard taxonomy of
