Is the way to moral truth through theory? Or do we already know
what's right and wrong? Throughout modern history philosophers have
tried to construct elaborate moral systems to determine what's
right. Recently, however, some have revived the position that we
have intuitive knowledge of right and wrong. In this book, David
Kaspar introduces and explores the perspective known as
'Intuitionism'. Charting intuitionism's fall in the twentieth
century and its recent resurgence, Kaspar looks at the intuitionist
approach to the most important topics in ethics, from moral
knowledge to intrinsically good moral action. David Kaspar defends
intuitionism against criticisms from competing metaethical schools,
such as moral nihilism and ethical naturalism. It also takes on
normative rivals, such as utilitarianism, Kantianism, and virtue
ethics. By consolidating the stronger claims of both early analytic
and contemporary intuitionists, Kaspar goes on to make a robust
case for a rigorously intuitionist approach to explaining morality.
Intuitionism also includes chapter summaries and guides to further
reading throughout to help readers explore and master this
important school of contemporary ethical thought. This is an ideal
resource for undergraduates and postgraduates taking courses in
ethics, metaethics and moral philosophy.
