"Metaethics from a First Person Standpoint addresses in a novel format the major topics and themes of contemporary metaethics, the study of the analysis of moral thought and judgement. Metathetics is less concerned with what practices are right or wrong than with what we mean by 'right' and 'wrong.' Looking at a wide spectrum of topics including moral language, realism and anti-realism, reasons and motives, relativism, and moral progress, this book engages students and general readers in order to enhance their understanding of morality and moral discourse as cultural practices. Catherine Wilson innovatively employs a first-person narrator to report step-by-step an individual's reflections, beginning from a position of radical scepticism, on the possibility of objective moral knowledge. The reader is invited to follow along with this reasoning, and to challenge or agree with each major point. Incrementally, the narrator is led to certain definite conclusions about 'oughts' and norms in connection with self-interest, prudence, social norms, and finally morality. Scepticism is overcome, and the narrator arrives at a good understanding of how moral knowledge and moral progress are possible, though frequently long in coming. Accessibly written, Metaethics from a First Person Standpoint presupposes no prior training in philosophy and is a must-read for philosophers, students and general readers interested in gaining a better understanding of morality as a personal philosophical quest."--Publisher's website.

Recherche interdisciplinaire sur la nature de la norme et la possibilité des jugements normatifs, l'ouvrage associe théorie économique et réflexion sociologique et philosophique. Sa critique des théorisations axiomatiques de l'économie tend à restaurer le dualisme des faits et des normes et à accorder une attention particulière à la fluctuation des processus et la viabilité des changements. L'enquête philosophique retrace l'histoire de la distinction onto-déontologique, propose une analytique du fait et de la norme et discute les reconstructions de la normativité sociale proposées dans les sociologies de notre modernité. Les conclusions des deux recherches convergent vers la reconnaissance de l'irréductibilité de la fluctuation, à l'arrière de laquelle la norme est produite.
