Rules proliferate; some are kept with a bureaucratic stringency
bordering on the absurd, while others are manipulated and ignored
in ways that injure our sense of justice. Under what conditions
should we make exceptions to rules, and when should they be
followed despite particular circumstances? The two dominant models
in the literature on rules are the particularist account and that
which sees the application of rules as normative. Taking a position
that falls between these two extremes, Alan Goldman provides a
systematic framework to clarify when we need to follow rules in our
moral, legal and prudential decisions, and when we ought not to do
so. The book distinguishes among various types of rules; it
illuminates concepts such as integrity, self-interest and
self-deception; and finally, it provides an account of ordinary
moral reasoning without rules. This book will be of great interest
to advanced students and professionals working in philosophy, law,
decision theory and the social sciences.
