The essays collected in this volume all explore the problem of the relation between moral philosophy and modernity. Charles Larmore addresses this problem by attempting to define the way distinctive forms of modern experience should orientate our moral thinking. Charles Larmore wonders whether the dominant forms of modern philosophy have not become blind to important dimensions of the moral life. The book argues against recent attempts to return to the virtue-centered perspective of ancient Greek ethics. As well as exploring the differences between ancient and modern ethics, the author examines such topics as the roles of reason and history in our moral understanding, the inadequacy of philsophical naturalism, and the foundations of modern liberalism. There are also extended discussions of a number of leading contemporary philosophers: Rawls, Habermas, Williams and Rorty.

In The Autonomy of Morality Charles Larmore challenges two ideas that have shaped the modern mind. The world, he argues, is not a realm of value-neutral fact, nor does human freedom consist in imposing principles of our own devising on an alien reality. Rather, reason consists in being responsive to reasons for thought and action that arise from the world itself. Larmore shows that the moral good has an authority that speaks for itself. Only in this light does the true basis of a liberal political order come into view, as well as the role of unexpected goods in the makeup of a life lived well.

Charles Larmore s'interroge sur la nature du rapport à soi fondamental qui fait de chacun un moi, à partir d'auteurs comme Montaigne, Stendhal, Proust, Sartre, Girard et Ricoeur. Il s'attache à discuter l'idéal de l'authenticité, afin d'en saisir le noyau irréductible, moment dans lequel on est « soi-même ». A partir de là, Larmore tente d'élucider le caractère du rapport à soi essentiel au moi, en le définissant comme un rapport d'engagement, dans des croyances, des désirs ou des actes. Ce rapport à soi, par lequel le moi se définit, n'est pas un rapport de connaissance immédiate : le moi se rapporte à lui-même de façon pratique et normative. Croire ou désirer quelque chose consiste ainsi à s'engager à suivre ce qu'on a des raisons de penser ou de faire. L'auteur s'attache à développer les conséquences éthiques de cette conception, afin d'être plus à même de comprendre ce que c'est qu'« être soi-même », de voir comment la connaissance de soi devient souvent un acte d'autocréation et d'apprécier à quel point notre bien est le fruit de l'imprévu. Ce livre a reçu le Grand Prix de l'Académie française en 2004.
