Is it rational to be moral? Can moral disputes be settled
rationally? Which criteria determine what we have a good reason to
do? In this innovative book, Logi Gunnarsson takes issue with the
assumption made by many philosophers faced with the problem of
reconciling moral norms with a scientific world view, namely that
morality must be offered a non-moral justification based on a
formal concept of rationality. He argues that the criteria for the
rationality of an action are irreducibly substantive, rather than
purely formal, and that assuming that morality must be given a
non-moral justification amounts to a distortion of both rationality
and morality. His discussion includes substantial critical
engagement with major thinkers from two very different
philosophical traditions, and is notable for its clear and succinct
account of Habermas' discourse ethics. It will appeal to anyone
interested in practical reason and the rational credentials of
morality.
