  • Explaining the Normative

    by Stephen P. Turner ...
    Normativity is what gives reasons their force, makes words meaningful, and makes rules and laws binding. It is present whenever we use such terms as ‘correct,' ‘ought,' ‘must,' and the language of obligation, responsibility, and logical compulsion. Yet normativists, the philosophers committed to this idea, admit that the idea of a non-causal normative realm and a body of normative objects is ... 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

    Tradition, Tacit Knowledge and Prepositions

    by Stephen P. Turner ...
    This book presents the first analysis and critique of the idea of practice as it has developed in the various theoretical traditions of the social sciences and the humanities. The concept of a practice, understood broadly as a tacit possession that is 'shared' by and the same for different people, has a fatal difficulty, the author argues. This object must in some way be transmitted, 'reproduced', ... Read more

  • Choosing Normative Concepts

    by Matti Eklund ...
    Theorists working on metaethics and the nature of normativity typically study goodness, rightness, what ought to be done, and so on. In their investigations they employ and consider our actual normative concepts. But the actual concepts of goodness, rightness, and what ought to be done are only some of the possible normative concepts there are. There are other possible concepts, ascribing ... Read more

  • Ethics and Finitude

    Heideggerian Contributions to Moral Philosophy

    by Lawrence J. Hatab ...
    This book explores what anyone interested in ethics can draw from Heidegger's thinking. Heidegger argues for the radical finitude of being.

Moral matters are responses to finite limit-conditions, and ethics itself is finite in its modes of disclosure, appropriation, and performance. With Heidegger's help, Lawrence ... Read more

  • History After Lacan

    by Teresa Brennan ...
    Series series Opening Out: Feminism for Today

She begins by recovering Lacan's neglected theory of history which argued that we are in the grip of a psychotic's era which began in the seventeenth century and climaxes in the present. By extending and elaborating Lacan's theory, Brennan develops a ... Read more
