Iain Brassington

Truth and Normativity (eBook, ePUB)

An Inquiry into the Basis of Everyday Moral Claims

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

By posing the question of what it is that marks the difference between something like terrorism and something like civil society, Brassington argues that commonsense moral arguments against terrorism or political violence imply that the modern democratic polis might also be morally unjustifiable. In exploring this problem, Brassington identifies a tension between the primary values of truth and normativity in the standard accounts of moral theory.
