The Futility of Philosophical Ethics puts forward a novel account
of the grounds of moral feeling with fundamental implications for
philosophical ethics. It examines the grounds of moral feeling by
both the phenomenology of that feeling, and the facts of moral
feeling in operation - particularly in forms such as moral luck,
vicious virtues, and moral disgust - that appear paradoxical from
the point of view of systematic ethics. Using an analytic approach,
James Kirwan engages in the ongoing debates among contemporary
philosophers within metaethics and normative ethics. Instead of
trying to erase the variety of moral responses that exist in
philosophical analysis under one totalizing system, Kirwan argues
that such moral theorizing is futile. His analysis counters
currently prevalent arguments that seek to render the origins of
moral experience unproblematic by finding substitutes for realism
in various forms of noncognitivism. In reasserting the problematic
nature of moral experience, and offering a theory of the origins of
that experience in unavoidable individual desires, Kirwan accounts
for the diverse manifestations of moral feeling and demonstrates
why so many arguments in metaethics and normative ethics are
necessarily irresolvable.
