| Summary: | In The Autonomy of Morality, Charles Larmore challenges two ideas
that have shaped the modern mind. The world, he argues, is not a
realm of value-neutral fact, nor is reason our capacity to impose
principles of our own devising on an alien reality. Rather, reason
consists in being responsive to reasons for thought and action that
arise from the world itself. In particular, Larmore shows that the
moral good has an authority that speaks for itself. Only in this light
does the true basis of a liberal political order come into view, as well
as the role of unexpected goods in the makeup of a life lived well. |
