Buch Details
"Here distinguished philosopher Bernard Gert presents an introduction to what he calls "common morality" - the moral system that most thoughtful people implicitly use when making everyday, commonsense moral decisions and judgments. Common Morality is useful in that - while not resolving every disagreement on controversial issues - it is able to distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable answers to moral problems." The distillation of over 40 years of scholarship, this book is the most accessible version of Gert's influential theory of morality as well as an eye-opening look at the moral foundations of our everyday actions. Throughout the discussion is clear enough for a reader with little or no philosophy background.
