Studies in the Ethics and Philosophy of Religion: Moral Practices Vol 6

Moral Practicesputs forward arguments against two prominent views in contemporary ethics. Firstly, it shows that moral practices cannot be explained in terms of individual decision. Secondly, it demonstrates that although moral conclusions follow from certain facts within a moral practice, the same facts need not lead to these conclusions when viewed from within different moral practices. The book explores the implications of recognizing the multiplicity of moral practices for such issues as ethical relativity, moral dilemmas and moral disagreement.D. Z.
