Alan Gewirth's "Reason and Morality," in which he set forth the
Principle of Generic Consistency, is a major work of modern ethical
theory that, though much debated and highly respected, has yet to
gain full acceptance. Deryck Beyleveld contends that this
resistance stems from misunderstanding of the method and logical
operations of Gewirth's central argument. In this book Beyleveld
seeks to remedy this deficiency. His rigorous reconstruction of
Gewirth's argument gives its various parts their most compelling
formulation and clarifies its essential logical structure.
Beyleveld then classifies all the criticisms that Gewirth's
argument has received and measures them against his reconstruction
of the argument. The overall result is an immensely rich picture of
the argument, in which all of its complex issues and key moves are
clearly displayed and its validity can finally be discerned.
The comprehensiveness of Beyleveld's treatment provides ready
access to the entire debate surrounding the foundational argument
of "Reason and Morality," It will be required reading for all who
are interested in Gewirth's theory and deontological ethics and
will be of central importance to moral and legal theorists.
