Reviews

The methodology of philosophy, in general, has been the subject of intense discussion in recent years, with valuable new ideas and positions emerging from these debates. However, the methodology of moral philosophy, in particular, has not received the same kind of renewed and focused attention. This volume rectifies that omission by bringing together an excellent collection of essays on moral methodology. Some of these essays shed new light on old issues but the main focus is on new methods and ideas. Anyone interested in understanding, and evaluating, the methods we use in ethical theorizing will want to read this book. - Yuri Cath, La Trobe University, Australia
