The Phenomenology of Moral Normativity

By William H. Smith

Book Overview

William H. Smith draws on both phenomenology and contemporary moral theory to argue that the source of moral normativity-that is, the justification of morality's binding force-is the legitimate authority of other persons to hold us morally accountable and our self-responsible commitment to live up to that demand.
