Ethics in the Gray Area

Autor Martin Peterson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mai 2025
This first book-length discussion of the 'gray area' in ethics challenges the assumption that rightness and wrongness are binary properties. Including discussions of white lies and the permissibility of abortion, it introduces gradualist notions of right and wrong designed to answer practical questions about the gray area in ethics.

Recenzii

'Peterson provides a much needed clarification of what gradualism is, and makes a powerful case both that it is a decisive advance over alternatives, and that ethicists working within a broadly consequentialist framework are driven to it. He makes the case, moreover, that the ability of consequentialist theories – in particular his preferred version – to accommodate gradualism amounts to a real advantage of such theories over alternatives that eschew it. An important contribution to core debates in normative ethics and beyond. Paul Hurley, Claremont McKenna College
