Sterba Index 422 v List of Figures Figure 1 AMOR 77 Figure 2 Analysis of Choice 105 vi Preface Comprehensive and sustained work in the history of ethics has been suprisingly meagre, especially in light of the dictum that 'an under­ standing of philosophy often entails an understanding of the history of philosophy'. Henry Sidgwick' s Outlines of the History of Ethics for English Readers (1886) is the one durable work of the past while Vernon J. Bourke's History of Ethics (1968) and Alasdair Macintyre's A Short History of Ethics (1967) are the only works of the present that can be genuinely recommended. And each of the above contain differences in method and points of emphasis, making them far from the final word on the subject. The weakness of scholarly work in this area can be explained in two ways. The first has to do with the extreme difficulty that a single person would have in trying to think through the entire history of moral philosophy. The difficulty arises from the fact that a true history of ethics is deeper and far more complex than a mere 'summary of positions'. To understand a philosopher's ethical theory, that philosopher must be placed within the immediacy of the specific philosophical issues and the general cultural problems that con­ fronted the writer at the time of his work and that formed the frame of reference for the meaning of his position. A true history of ethics takes the form of a historical narrative which contextualises a moral theory in order to achieve a correct understanding of that moral theory. Research into this kind of approach to the history of ethics is critically lacking. The lack of work in this area comes not only out of the difficulty of the task, but also out of a certain attitude taken by 20th-century Anglo-American philosophers with regard to the very idea of moral philosophy itself. Macintyre, in After Virtue (Indiana: University of Notre Dame Press, 1981), sees this attitude in 'the persistently unhistorical treatment of moral philosophy by contemporary phil­ osophers in both the writing about and the teaching of the subject' (p. 11). He amplifies this by noting that 'we all too often still treat the moral philosophers of the past as contributors to a single debate with a relatively unvarying subject-matter, treating Plato and Hume and Mill as contemporaries both of ourselves and of each other'. With this attitude, history has become irrelevant to the subject­ matter of ethics. vii viii Preface This book hopes to overcome both the difficulty of and the attitude towards doing a history of ethics. It seeks to provide a prolegomenon to the writing of a historical narrative through a series of single­ author chapters which discuss the context of selected ethical theories as those theories are found in key figures of western philosophy. The emphasis in each case will be on the development of the theory within the specific historical context that formed its immediate frame of reference. The criterion used for choosing the philosophers to be discussed is that the philosopher chosen should be a major systematic writer in the history of western philosophy. The only exception to this rule is in 20th-century Anglo-American ethical theory, where the analytic method tended to produce a series of specialised works and articles that are best represented by a collec­ tion of writers rather than a single figure. This is a 'history of ethics' that is valuable for the student wishing to know a certain theory, a scholar wishing to criticise a certain theory, and a person wishing to study the history of ethics in the sense of seeking themes, divergences and convergences. No attempt is made here to draw sweeping conclusions or to make comparative judgements regarding the whole of the history of ethics. Furthermore, our task is not to produce an encyclopaedic view of the entire history of ethics nor to pronounce the final word on any particular philosopher within that history. Rather, we seek to join the recent move in philosophy that recognises the importance of history and context in the ongoing activity of philosophy. We hope that by taking this route we have provided access to these ethical theories, and in such a way that they will become understandable to a broad range of readers. Robert J.

  • Love As a Moral Emotion* J. David Velleman
    Love as a Moral Emotion* J. David Velleman INTRODUCTION Love and morality are generally assumed to differ in spirit. The moral point of view is impartial and favors no particular individual, whereas favoring someone in particular seems like the very essence of love. Love and morality are therefore thought to place con¯icting demands on our attention, requiring us to look at things differently, whether or not they ultimately require us to do different things.1 The question is supposed to be whether a person can do justice to both perspectives. Some philosophers think that one or the other per- * The theme of this article was suggested to me by Harry Frankfurt's ``Autonomy, Necessity, and Love'' (in Vernunftbegriffe in der Moderne, ed. Hans Friedrich Fulda and Rolf- Peter Horstmann [Klett-Cotta, 1994], pp. 433± 47). I ®rst attempted to state the theme in a paper entitled ``Frankfurt on Love and Duty,'' written for a conference organized by RuÈdi- ger Bittner in the spring of 1996, at the Zentrum fuÈr interdiziplinaÈre Forschung, in Biele- feld, Germany. Some of that paper is reproduced here. Also contained here is material from a commentary on Henry S. Richardson's Practical Reasoning about Final Ends (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1994); my commentary was presented at a session of the So- ciety for Informal Logic at the 1995 meetings of the American Philosophical Association (APA) Eastern Division. Earlier versions of this article were read to the philosophy depart- ments at Arizona State University; Harvard; Princeton; University of California, Los Ange- les; University College London; and to a discussion group that meets at Oriel College, Ox- ford, under the auspices of David Charles.

Because Kantian and Humean accounts of agency emphasize the individual over the social, they lack explanatory resources important to un- derstanding how others can matter to us as agents in the right way. Insufficiently social conceptions of agency, I argue, risk depicting agents as alienated from one another, leaving mysterious how we can get a normative grip on one another. Taking inspiration from GWF Hegel and Iris Murdoch, I develop a conception of agency on which it constitutively depends on standing in relations of mutual recognition with other agents.

What is action? This dissertation is about how far an answer to the second question can take us towards an answer to the first. Many philosophers think that an answer to the metaphysical question about the nature of action can take us very far towards an answer to the ordinary question about how to act. There are two popular ways of developing this idea. According to neo-Kantianism, agency presupposes the capacity to engage in non-instrumental forms of practical thought. According to neo-Humeanism, agency is limited to the capacity to engage in instrumental thought. I criticize each and offer a better alternative. I argue that non-instrumental practical thought is not necessary for agency but still possible. Attempts to answer “How ought one to act?” by answering “What is action?” are attempts to explain how something ought to be through an account of what something is.

  • The Order of Public Reason a Theory of Freedom and Morality in a Diverse and Bounded World
    The Order of Public Reason A Theory of Freedom and Morality in a Diverse and Bounded World In this innovative and wide-ranging work, Gerald Gaus advances a revised, and more realistic, account of public reason liberalism, showing how, in the midst of fundamental disagreement about val- ues and beliefs, we can achieve a moral and political order that treats all as free and equal moral persons. The first part of the book analyzes social morality as a system of authoritative moral rules. Drawing on an earlier generation of moral philosophers such as Kurt Baier and Peter Strawson as well as current work in the social sciences, Gaus argues that our social morality is an evolved social fact, which is the necessary foundation of a mutually beneficial so- cial order. The second part considers how this system of social moral authority can be justified to all moral persons. Drawing on the tools of game theory, social choice theory, experimental psy- chology, and evolutionary theory, Gaus shows how a free society can secure a moral equilibrium that is endorsed by all, and how a just state respects, and develops, such an equilibrium. Gerald Gaus is the James E. Rogers Professor of Philosophy at the University of Arizona. He was previously professor of philosophy and political economy at Tulane University. He is the author of a number of books, including On Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (2008); Contemporary Theories of Liberalism (2003); and Justificatory Liberalism (1996). His essay “On Justifying the Moral Rights of the Moderns” won the 2009 American Philosophical Association’s Kavka Award.
