Actual Ethics offers a moral defense of the 'classical liberal'
political tradition and applies it to several of today's vexing
moral and political issues. James Otteson argues that a Kantian
conception of personhood and an Aristotelian conception of judgment
are compatible and even complementary. He shows why they are
morally attractive, and perhaps most controversially, when
combined, they imply a limited, classical liberal political state.
Otteson then addresses several contemporary problems - wealth and
poverty, public education, animal welfare, and affirmative action -
and shows how each can be plausibly addressed within the Kantian,
Aristotelian and classical liberal framework. Written in clear,
engaging, and jargon-free prose, Actual Ethics will give students
and general audiences an overview of a powerful and rich moral and
political tradition that they might not otherwise consider.
