The Nature and Objectivity of Morality

Peter Byrne

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

One of the crucial tasks of moral philosophy appears to be that of defining morality. This might be one early way in which reflection on the form of morals suggests limits to its content. The customary understanding of what morality is might indeed rule out various modes of thought and action as options for ethics. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
