This volume presents twelve original papers on constructivism -
some sympathetic, others critical - by a distinguished group of
moral philosophers. 'Kantian constructivism holds that moral
objectivity is to be understood in terms of a suitably constructed
social point of view that all can accept. Apart from the procedure
of constructing the principles of justice, there are no moral
facts.' So wrote John Rawls in his highly influential 1980 Dewey
lectures 'Kantian Constructivism in Moral Theory'. Since then there
has been much discussion of constructivist understandings, Kantian
or otherwise, both of morality and of reason more generally. Such
understandings typically seek to characterize the truth conditions
of propositions in their target domain in maximally metaphysically
unassuming ways, frequently in terms of the outcome of certain
procedures or the passing of certain tests, procedures or tests
that speak to the distinctively practical concerns of deliberating
human agents living together in societies. But controversy abounds
over the interpretation and the scope as well as the credibility of
such constructivist ideas. The essays collected here reach to the
heart of this contemporary philosophical debate, and offer a range
of new approaches and perspectives.
