In "Morality, Leadership, and Public Policy," Eric Weber argues for
an experimentalist approach to moral theory in addressing practical
problems in public policy. The experimentalist approach begins
moral inquiry by examining public problems and then makes use of
the tools of philosophy and intelligent inquiry to alleviate them.
Part I surveys the uses of practical philosophy and answers
criticisms - including religious challenges - of the approach,
presenting a number of areas in which philosophers' intellectual
efforts can prove valuable for resolving public conflicts. Part II
presents a new approach to experimentalism in moral theory, based
on the insights of John Dewey's pragmatism. Focusing on the
elements of good public inquiry and the experimentalist attitude,
Weber discusses ways of thinking about the effective construction
and reconstruction of particular problems, including practical
problems of public policy prioritization.Finally, in Part III the
book examines real-world examples in which the experimentalist
approach to ethics proves useful, including instances of "bandwidth
theft" and the controversies surrounding activist judges in the US
Supreme Court.
