Most modern philosophers attempt to solve the problem of morality
from within the epistemological assumptions that define the
dominant cultural perspective of our age. Alan Gewirth's Reason and
Morality is a major work in this ongoing enterprise. Gewirth
develops, with patience and skill, what he calls a 'modified
naturalism' in which morality is derived by logic alone from the
concept of action. . . . I think that the publication of Reason and
Morality is a major event in the history of moral philosophy. It
develops with great power a new and exciting position in ethical
naturalism. No one, regardless of philosophical stance, can read
this work without an enlargement of mind. It illuminates morality
and agency for all.--E. M. Adams, The Review of Metaphysics This is
a fascinating study of an apparently intractable problem. Gewirth
has provided plenty of material for further discussion, and his
theory deserves serious consideration. He is always aware of
possible rejoinders and argues in a rigorous manner, showing a firm
grasp of the current state of moral and political philosophy.--Mind
