Modernity has challenged the ancient ideal of a universal quest for
wisdom, and today's world of conflicting cultures and values has
raised further doubts regarding the possibility of objective
ethical standards. Robert Kane refocuses the debate on the
philosophical quest for wisdom, and argues that ethical principles
about right action and the good life can be seen to emerge from
that very quest itself. This book contends that the search for
wisdom involves a persistent striving to overcome narrowness of
vision that comes from the inevitable limitations of finite points
of view. When applied to questions of value and the good life, this
striving has ethical implications about the way we should treat
ourselves and others. This study argues for the merits of this
central thesis against alternative theories in contemporary
normative ethics, and discusses its practical applications for
social ethics, political philosophy, law and moral education.
