What form, or forms, might ethical knowledge take? In particular, can ethical knowledge take the form either of moral theory, or of moral intuition? If it can, should it? These are central questions for ethics today, and they are the central questions for the philosophical essays collected in this volume. Intuition, Theory, and Anti-Theory in Ethics draws together new work by leading experts in the field, in order to represent as many different perspectives on the discussion as possible. The volume is not built upon any kind of tidy consensus about what 'knowledge', 'theory', and 'intuition' mean. Rather, the idea is to explore as many as possible of the different things that knowledge, theory, and intuition could be in ethics.
This volume investigates the fundamental nature of ethical knowledge and whether it is best articulated through moral theory, intuition, or anti-theoretical frameworks. Edited by Sophie Grace Chappell, the collection brings together prominent philosophers to examine the definitions and applications of these concepts. The essays do not seek a unified consensus but instead provide a diverse range of perspectives on how moral understanding is constructed and justified in contemporary discourse.
