Moral Knowledge New Readings Summary

Moral Knowledge New Readings by Sinnott-Armstrong

This is a collection of essays on the topic of moral knowledge. Each paper represents a major position within the field of moral epistemology, and starts by introducing readers to the position the author defends, locating that position vis-a-vis competing views, and explaining technical vocabulary, before going on to argue that position. The papers cover the topics of moral skepticism, contractarianism, projectism, coherentism, feminist skepticism, and pragmatism.

Moral Knowledge New Readings Reviews

"[Moral Knowledge] is superb. All the collected essays are of high quality, and the anthology can make an ideal text for advanced courses in moral theory. Many ethics teachers will be be grateful. [Sinnott-Armstrong's] essay is a gem."--T. K. Seung, The University of Texas at Austin "Very useful text. All the core readings arranged topically to facilitate a content-organized course."--Andrew Pessin, Kenyon College "This is a very interesting collection of viewpoints regarding moral epistemology that illustrates the current issues and arguments."--Carl Wellman, Washington University "A mature and thoroughgoing treatment of the epistemic status of normative propositions. To date I have not seen a better treatment of meta-ethical issues."--S.N. Fratantaro, Providence College
