    Studies in Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy

    by George Sher ...
    Series series Studies in Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy
    In this book, distinguished philosopher George Sher explores the normative moral and social problems that arise from living in a decidedly non-ideal world-a world that contains immorality, evil, and injustice, and in which resources (including knowledge) are often inadequate. Sher confronts difficult issues surrounding preferential treatment and equal opportunity, compensatory justice and ... Read more

  • A Wild West of the Mind

    by George Sher ...
    Can unexpressed thoughts be morally wrong? Are people subject to moral condemnation not only for their malicious, biased, and cruel actions, but also for their private malice, biased beliefs, and ugly fantasies? Although many would answer "yes," George Sher argues in A Wild West of the Mind that none of the main approaches to morality support this view and that to accept it would be to relinquish ...

  • Who Knew?

    Responsibility Without Awareness

    by George Sher ...
    Unlike most other discussions of responsibility, which focus on the idea that to be responsible, agents must in some sense act voluntarily, this book focuses on the relatively neglected idea that they must in some sense know what they are doing. Because it integrates first-and-third personal elements, this account is well suited to capture the complexity of responsible agents, who at once have ... Read more

  • Me, You, Us

    Essays

    by George Sher ...
    The essays in Me, You, Us address a range of issues in moral philosophy, political philosophy, and moral psychology, but are unified by their starkly individualistic view of the moral subject. That view regards persons as permanently separated from others by the impenetrability of their subjectivities, and hence as the sole ultimate bearers of both interests and responsibility. Because they are ... Read more

  • In Praise of Blame

    by George Sher ...
    Blame is an unpopular and neglected notion: it goes against the grain of a therapeutically-oriented culture and has received relatively little philosophical attention. This book discusses questions about its nature, normative status, and relation to character. The book's most important conclusion is that blame is inseparable from morality itself. ... Read more

  • Equality for Inegalitarians

    by George Sher ...
    This book offers a new and compelling account of distributive justice and its relation to choice. Unlike luck egalitarians, who treat unchosen differences in people's circumstances as sources of unjust inequality to be overcome, Sher views such differences as pervasive and unavoidable features of the human situation. Appealing to an original account of what makes us moral equals, he argues that ... Read more

  • The Ethics of Social Punishment

    The Enforcement of Morality in Everyday Life

    by Linda Radzik, Christopher Bennett, Glen Pettigrove, George Sher ...
    How do we punish others socially, and should we do so? In her 2018 Descartes Lectures for Tilburg University, Linda Radzik explores the informal methods ordinary people use to enforce moral norms, such as telling people off, boycotting businesses, and publicly shaming wrongdoers on social media. Over three lectures, Radzik develops an account of what social punishment is, why it is sometimes ... Read more
