Reason and Ethics defends the theoretical claim that all values are
subjective and the practical claim that human affairs can be
conducted fruitfully in full awareness of this. Joel Marks goes
beyond his previous work defending moral skepticism to question the
existence of all objective values. This leads him to suggest a
novel answer to the Companions in Guilt argument that the denial of
morality would mean relinquishing rationality as well. Marks
disarms the argument by conceding the irreality of both morality
and logic, but is still able to rescue rationality while dispensing
with morality on pragmatic grounds. He then offers a positive
account of how life may be lived productively without recourse to
attributions and assertions of right and wrong, good and bad, and
even truth and falsity. Written in an accessible and engaging
style, Reason and Ethics will be of interest to scholars and
students working in metaethics as well as to the generally
intellectually curious.
