This book presents and argues for a moral theory which draws on
most of the major theoretical positions to some degree, but it also
spells out the limits and boundaries of a moral theory. In doing
so, it exposes a number of common confusions and misunderstandings
about morality, and presents a strong argument for some
indisputable truths in relation to the moral sphere.
Divided into four parts, the book covers the key issues within
moral philosophy:
- Part 1 provides a lucid and powerful account of the nature and
limits of moral theory, sharply distinguishing it from
religion
- Part 2 outlines a positive moral theory by exploring the
defining principles of morality and the reasons for being
moral
- Part 3 distinguishes moral values from others such as
ecological, health and safety and sexual values
- Part 4 is concerned with the implications of our moral
understanding for moral education
While this book concentrates on argument and ideas, a commentary
to each chapter provides historical context and contemporary
reference points. It will prove an invaluable resource for students
of both Education and Philosophy.
