This book is an investigation into the descriptive task of moral
philosophy. Nora Hamalainen explores the challenge of providing
rich and accurate pictures of the moral conditions, values,
virtues, and norms under which people live and have lived, along
with relevant knowledge about the human animal and human nature.
While modern moral philosophy has focused its energies on normative
and metaethical theory, the task of describing, uncovering, and
inquiring into moral frameworks and moral practices has mainly been
left to social scientists and historians. Nora Hamalainen argues
that this division of labour has detrimental consequences for moral
philosophy and that a reorientation toward descriptive work is
needed in moral philosophy. She traces resources for a descriptive
philosophical ethics in the work of four prominent philosophers of
the twentieth century: John Dewey, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Michel
Foucault, and Charles Taylor, while also calling on thinkers
inspired by them.
