The principal aim of this book is to develop and defend an analysis
of the concept of moral obligation. The analysis is neutral
regarding competing substantive theories of obligation, whether
consequentialist or deontological in character. What it seeks to do
is generate solutions to a range of philosophical problems
concerning obligation and its application. Amongst these problems
are deontic paradoxes, the supersession of obligation, conditional
obligation, prima facie obligation, actualism and possibilism,
dilemmas, supererogation, and cooperation. By virtue of its
normative neutrality, the analysis provides a theoretical framework
within which competing theories of obligation can be developed and
assessed. This study is a major contribution to metaethics that
will be of particular interest to all philosophers concerned with
normative ethical theory.
