Widespread moral disagreement raises ethical, epistemological,
political, and metaethical questions. Is the best explanation of
our widespread moral disagreements that there are no objective
moral facts and that moral relativism is correct? Or should we
think that just as there is widespread disagreement about whether
we have free will but there is still an objective fact about
whether we have it, similarly, moral disagreement has no bearing on
whether morality is objective? More practically, is it arrogant to
stick to our guns in the face of moral disagreement? Must we
suspend belief about the morality of controversial actions such as
eating meat and having an abortion? And does moral disagreement
affect the laws that we should have? For instance, does
disagreement about the justice of heavily redistributive taxation
affect whether such taxation is legitimate? In this thorough and
clearly written introduction to moral disagreement and its
philosophical and practical implications, Richard Rowland examines
and assesses the following topics and questions: How does moral
disagreement affect what we should do and believe in our day-to-day
lives? Epistemic peerhood and moral disagreements with our
epistemic peers. Metaethics and moral disagreement. Relativism,
moral objectivity, moral realism, and non-cognitivism. Moral
disagreement and normative ethics. Liberalism, democracy, and
disagreement. Moral compromise. Moral uncertainty. Combining clear
philosophical analysis with summaries of the latest research and
suggestions for further reading, Moral Disagreement is ideal for
students of ethics, metaethics, political philosophy, and
philosophical topics that are closely related, such as relativism
and scepticism. It will also be of interest to those in related
disciplines such as public policy and philosophy of law.
