Description

Jonathan Dancy presents a long-awaited exposition and defence of particularism in ethics, a theory he has developed and championed extensively. This Oxford University Press publication makes a controversial and powerfully argued claim: that the traditional link between morality and principles is fundamentally mistaken. Ethics without Principles offers the definitive presentation of particularist ethical theory, challenging conventional philosophical understanding and providing rigorous analysis of how moral judgements operate without reliance on universal principles. This book is essential reading for moral philosophers, students of ethics, and anyone seeking to understand contemporary developments in philosophical ethics and alternative approaches to moral reasoning.

Key Features

Jonathan Dancy's comprehensive exposition defends particularism as a coherent ethical theory distinct from principle-based morality.

Published by Oxford University Press, this academic philosophy book presents definitive arguments against traditional moral principles.

Ethics without Principles serves as required reading for moral philosophers and advanced students studying contemporary ethical theory.

Dancy's controversial thesis challenges the fundamental assumption linking being moral with having and following ethical principles.

This philosophy book offers rigorous analysis of how moral judgements function independently of universal moral rules.
