Description

Presents a comprehensive account of an important but widely contested approach to ethics - intuitionism, the view that there is a plurality of moral principles, each of which we can know directly. This book casts intuitionism in a form that provides an alternative to the more familiar ethical perspectives (utilitarian, Kantian, and Aristotelian).

Reviews

"This unique and fascinating endeavor is required reading for anyone interested in intuitionism, in moral epistemology, or, indeed, in ethical theory today."--Jessica Prata Miller, Philosophy in Review
