Originally published in 1988, this book discusses if moral
knowledge exists, and if so, if it is similar to other forms of
knowledge. This book approaches the issues from both historical and
contemporary perspectives and in order to determine whether there
is a real property of rightness, looks to the ethical theories of
Hobbes, Hume and Kant. This historical analysis leads to a
systematic comparison of three theories of the nature of ethics:
realism, emotivism and coherentism. The nature of coherence is
explained using legal reasoning as a model. Moral reasoning is
compared and contrasted with reasoning both in science and law,
showing how ethics differs from science and empirical disciplines.
