Three things often recognized as central to morality are concern
for others' welfare, respect for their self-expression, and
cooperation in worthwhile collective activity. When philosophers
have proposed theories of the substance of morality, they have
typically looked to one of these three sources to provide a single,
fundamental principle of morality - or they have tried to formulate
a master-principle for morality that combines these three ideas in
some way. In Concern, Respect, and Cooperation, Garrett Cullity
urges us to think of them instead as three independently important
foundations of morality. The overall aim is to illuminate the
structure of morality by showing how its complex content is
generated from a relatively simple set of underlying elements -
with the complexity resulting from the various ways in which one
part of morality can derive from another, and the various ways in
which they can interact. Plural-foundation moral theories are
sometimes criticized for having nothing helpful to say about cases
in which their fundamental norms conflict. Responding to this,
Cullity concludes with three detailed applications of his theory:
to the questions surrounding paternalism, the use of others as
means, and our moral responsibilities as consumers.
