The history of moral philosophy has been dominated by attempts to
find and defend the correct moral principle or set of principles.
However, over the last two decades the assumption that morality can
and should be understood in terms of principles has come under
attack from several quarters. The most radical attack has come from
so-called moral particularists according to whom principles are at
best useless and at worst a hindrance to successful moral reasoning
and action. Why should - and how can - morality be based on
principles? These are the leading questions of this book. Moral
Principles offers a historically informed, in-depth examination of
the current particularist/generalist debate and presents a novel
account of the place of principles in our moral thought and action.
