Book Description:
|
People argue about which actions are morally right or wrong, good or evil, permitted or forbidden. Can such questions be decided by reference to an objective moral truth? How can such truth be recognized? What role can the natural sciences play? What is the meaning of variations and changes in our ideas of morality? How much tolerance should we bring to divergent moral opinions, and when is criticism justified?
