  • Knowing the Normative World

    On the Epistemologies of Ethics and Aesthetics

    by Errol Lord ...
    What does it mean to know that something is beautiful, just, or wrong, not as an article of theory, but as something that presses upon us and demands a response? Knowing the Normative World offers a sophisticated account of how we come to apprehend the normative world, not as idle spectators but as engaged evaluators. It provides not merely a technical treatment in epistemology, but a vision of ... Read more

  • The Importance of Being Rational

    by Errol Lord ...
    The Importance of Being Rational systematically defends a novel reasons-based account of rationality. The book's central thesis is that what it is for one to be rational is to correctly respond to the normative reasons one possesses. Errol Lord defends novel views about what it is to possess reasons and what it is to correctly respond to reasons. He shows that these views not only help to support ... Read more

  • Weighing Reasons

    Edited by Errol Lord, Barry Maguire ...
    In recent decades normative reasons-considerations that count in favor of one thing or another-have come to the theoretical fore in ethics and epistemology. A major attraction of normative reasons is that they have weight or strength. Reasons are particular considerations that count in favor of actions or attitudes to some degree. This feature is attractive to theorists who want to explain more ... Read more

    Implications of Cognitive Science for Ethics

    by Mark Johnson ...
    Using path-breaking discoveries of cognitive science, Mark Johnson argues that humans are fundamentally imaginative moral animals, challenging the view that morality is simply a system of universal laws dictated by reason. According to the Western moral tradition, we make ethical decisions by applying universal laws to concrete situations. But Johnson shows how research in cognitive science ... Read more

  • Challenging Moral Particularism

    Edited by Matjaž Potrc, Vojko Strahovnik, Mark Lance ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory
    Particularism is a justly popular ‘cutting-edge’ topic in contemporary ethics across the world. Many moral philosophers do not, in fact, support particularism (instead defending "generalist" theories that rest on particular abstract moral principles), but nearly all would take it to be a position that continues to offer serious lessons and challenges that cannot be safely ignored. Given the high ... Read more

  • A Reflexive Foundation for Human Science

    by Chris Mortimer ...
    We cannot observe us being us as such in the external world. We can only be us. We can observe us being us purely reflexively, through experiencing ourselves occurring, which can lead to reconstruction and construction. The reflexive reconstruction generates the concept of unitary mechanism, and through this the minimal and encompassing definitions of human being. And the reflexive reconstruction ... Read more

  • Art and Ethics in a Material World

    Kant’s Pragmatist Legacy

    by Jennifer McMahon ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory
    In this book, McMahon argues that a reading of Kant’s body of work in the light of a pragmatist theory of meaning and language (which arguably is a Kantian legacy) leads one to put community reception ahead of individual reception in the order of aesthetic relations. A core premise of the book is that neo-pragmatism draws attention to an otherwise overlooked aspect of Kant’s "Critique of Aesthetic ... Read more

  • Genre And The Invention Of The Writer

    Reconsidering the Place of Invention in Composition

    by Anis Bawarshi ...
    In a focused and compelling discussion, Anis Bawarshi looks to genre theory for what it can contribute to a refined understanding of invention. In describing what he calls "the genre function," he explores what is at stake for the study and teaching of writing to imagine invention as a way that writers locate themselves, via genres, within various positions and activities. He argues, in fact, that ... Read more
