Abstract

Le problème de la justification est le point névralgique de toute entreprise morale. Quelles raisons y a-t-il de soutenir une opinion morale plutôt qu‚une autre ? Comment déterminer la décision à prendre dans une situation mettant en présence des intérêts et des valeurs divergentes ? Autant de questions constitutives de la pratique morale qui expriment l’exigence de justification et d'objectivité. Sur la base d’une analyse critique des travaux d’auteurs issus de la tradition anglo-saxonne (parmi lesquels : R.M.Hare, J.L.Mackie, F.Jackson, P.Foot, ou encore R.Brandom), l’ouvrage offre une défense d’une conception pragmatiste de la justification morale selon laquelle penser les concepts éthiques signifie réfléchir les engagements existentiels.

Abstract

"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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

This collection examines prevalent assumptions in moral reasoning which are often accepted uncritically in medical ethics. It introduces a range of perspectives from philosophy and medicine on the nature of moral reasoning and relates these to illustrative problems, such as New Reproductive Technologies, the treatment of sick children, the assessment of quality of life, genetics, involuntary psychiatric treatment and abortion. In each case, the contributors address the nature and worth of the moral theories involved in discussions of the relevant issues, and focus on the types of reasoning which are employed. 'Medical ethics is in danger of becoming a subject kept afloat by a series of platitudes about respect for persons or the importance of autonomy. This book is a bold and imaginative attempt to break away from such rhetoric into genuine informative dialogue between philosophers and doctors, with no search after consensus.' Mary Warnock
