Do we desire things because they are good, or are they good because
we desire them? Objectivists answer that we desire things because
they are good; subjectivists answer that things are good because we
desire them. Further, does it make sense to account for moral
disagreement by claiming, as the moral relativist does, that
something might be good for one person but not for another? Some
essays in this book consider whether objective moral truths can be
grounded in an understanding of the nature of human beings as
rational and social animals. Some discuss the ethical theories of
historical figures-Aristotle, Aquinas, or Kant-or offer critical
assessments of the work of recent and contemporary theorists-such
as Moore, Putnam, Ayn Rand, Philippa Foot, and Rosalind Hursthouse.
Other essays ask whether moral principles and values can be
constructed through a process of practical reasoning or
deliberation. Still others consider what the phenomenology of our
moral experiences can reveal about moral objectivity.
