Ethical questions are often associated with practical dilemmas:
questions in morality, in other words. This volume, by contrast,
asks questions about morality: what it is, and to what it owes its
precarious authority over us. The focus on metaethics is sustained
throughout, via a wide range of philosophical perspectives.
Distinguished luminaries who include R. M. Hare and Bernard
Williams address keenly debated issues such as what constitutes
morality in politics; the relationship between education and
ethical standards; and whether or not morality can indeed be
defined at all. As Nikhil Krishnan writes in his elegant Foreword,
'The plain-speaking, essayistic grace of these essays, speaks
nevertheless of the possibility of moral philosophy, written with
an eye to a listener, very possibly not a professional philosopher,
who has the right to say, ''This is all very well, your neat little
theory, but it doesn't ring true. Things are more complicated than
that.'''
