The Second-Person Standpoint: Morality, Respect, and Accountability

By Stephen L. Darwall and Darwall

Book Overview

Why should we avoid doing moral wrong? The inability of philosophy to answer this question in a compelling manner - along with the moral scepticism and ethical confusion that ensue - results, Stephen Darwell argues, from our failure to appreciate the essentially interpersonal character of moral obligation.
