Much discussion of morality presupposes that moral judgments are
always, at bottom, arbitrary. Moral scepticism, or at least moral
relativism, has become common currency among the liberally
educated. This remains the case even while political crises become
intractable, and it is increasingly apparent that the scope of
public policy formulated with no reference to moral justification
is extremely limited. The thesis of On Justifying Moral Judgments
insists, on the contrary, that rigorous justifications are possible
for moral judgments. Crucially, Becker argues for the coordination
of the three main approaches to moral theory: axiology, deontology,
and agent morality. A pluralistic account of the concept of value
is expounded, and a solution to the problem of ultimate
justification is suggested. Analyses of valuation, evaluation, the
'is-ought' issue, and the concepts of obligation, responsibility
and the good person are all incorporated into the main line of
argument.
