Moralism involves the distortion of moral thought, the distortion
of reflection and judgement. It is a vice, and one to which many -
from the philosopher to the media pundit to the politician - are
highly susceptible. This book examines the nature of moralism in
specific moral judgements and the ways in which moral philosophy
and theories about morality can themselves become skewed by this
vice. This book ranges across a wide range of topics: the problem
of the demandingness of morality; the conflict between moral and
other values; the contrast between the practice of moral philosophy
and other modes of moral thought or reflection; moralism in the
media; and, moralism in the public discussion of literature and
art. This highly original and provocative book will be of interest
to students of philosophy, psychology, theology and media, and to
anyone who takes a serious interest in contemporary morality.
