Table of ContentsReviews-The book is a helpful contribution to ongoing conversations about whether and how persons from very different moral traditions may argue productively about moral issues across cultural and religious gulfs.- --Theological Studies -Moral Discourse in a Pluralistic World adopts perspectives from the compassionate wisdom of Mahayana Buddhism to render a creative interpretation of intrinsic moral goodness. Its characterization of our prediscursive -reasons of the heart- is the keystone for a sympathetic critique and reconstruction of Alasdair MacIntyre's account of the rationality of moral traditions. The result is a significant contribution to frameworks for a refutation of moral scepticism, a politics of reconciliation, and a restoration of Aristotelian moral education.- --Ian McPherson, Northern College, Dundee -Against the current wave of moral scepticism, Daniel Vokey deftly mediates between the imperative for objective moral knowledge and competing ethical positions in our diverse culture. Boldly original in its critique of contemporary ethical theories, Moral Discourse in a Pluralistic World dissolves the rationalism-relativism problem by grounding affectivity as the core of intrinsic moral value through the integration of western nonfoundationalism and Buddhist thought. Shedding new light on such important issues as embodied subjectivity, the relationship of the emotions to the moral domain, and the ethico-epistemological possibilities of narrative, Vokey's meticulously crafted study offers clarity and hope.
