Significance Ignorance Zimmerman, Michael J Living with Uncertainty: The Moral Significance of Ignorance |
| description |
Every choice we make is set against a background of massive ignorance
about our past, our future, our circumstances, and ourselves.
Philosophers are divided on the moral significance of such ignorance.
Some say that it has a direct impact on how we ought to behave – the
question of what our moral obligations are; others deny this, claiming
that it only affects how we ought to be judged in light of the behavior
in which we choose to engage – the question of what responsibility
we bear for our choices. Michael Zimmerman claims that our ignorance
has an important bearing on both questions, and offers an
account of moral obligation and moral responsibility that is sharply
at odds with the prevailing wisdom. His book will be of interest to a
wide range of readers in ethics |
