Description

In this thought-provoking book, Daniel Vokey argues that agreement on core fundamental moral values is necessary for justice and democracy to flourish. Addressing the political, social, and environmental problems that result from unresolved moral conflict, Vokey clarifies ways in which genuine agreement on moral issues can be pursued through moral discourse.

Moral Discourse in a Pluralistic World charts the epistemological middle ground between objectivism and relativism, analyzes and reconstructs Alasdair MacIntyre’s account of the rationality of traditions, outlines a coherent conceptual framework for moral intuitionism, and restores the association between the beautiful and the good. Vokey’s study also distinguishes itself by drawing heavily on the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism to justify characterizations of intrinsic moral goodness.
