Universalism vs. Communitarianism focuses on the question,
raised by recent work in normative philosophy, of whether ethical
norms are best derived and justified on the basis of universal or
communitarian standards. It is unique in representing both
Continental and American points of view and both the older and a
younger generation of scholars. The essays introduce the key issues
involved in universalism vs. communitarianism and take up ethics in
historical perspective, practical reason and ethical
responsibility, justification, application and history, and
communitarian alternatives. Based on a special issue of the Journal
Philosophy and Social Criticism, the book includes two additional
essays by Chantal Mouffe and by Hubert and Stuart Dreyfus. David
