The nature of moral reasoning

About this book

"The Nature of Moral Reasoning is a discussion about the context in which moral reasoning occurs and the ingredients that are at work when we engage in that activity. The book is concise and very readable, using vivid and down-to-earth examples and explanations." "The theoretical underpinnings of moral reasoning are explained carefully in the context of an examination about what it means to engage in the central activity of moral reasoning. The discussion, which unlike other books in moral theory is process-focussed, is both theoretical and practical and is about where moral reasoning is located, how it occurs, and what its requirements are. The discussion carefully and thoroughly examines the concept of 'reflective equilibrium', and provides a sustained treatment of how we can apply our reason to ethical issues." "The Nature of Moral Reasoning will be enjoyed by anyone who is interested in how moral reasoning works, but will be of particular value to second and third year undergraduate students studying moral philosophy. The book has relevance also for business students studying business ethics, particularly those students in Master of Business Administration courses."--Jacket.
