dc.descriptionThis book aims to help moral philosophy do better. Chapter 1 argues that moral philosophy currently lacks any reliable method for distinguishing what is actually true about morality from what merely ‘seems true’ to some investigators but not to others, and that seven principles of theory selection adapted from the sciences comprise the best available method for reliably distinguishing these things. Chapters 2–8 then use these principles to defend a new moral theory, Rightness as Fairness – a theory that I argue is not only based on firmer evidential foundations than predominant moral theories, but also reconciles a variety of traditionally opposed moral frameworks (consequentialism, deontology, contractualism, and virtue ethics) and normative political frameworks (libertarianism, egalitarianism, and communitarianism).en_US
