Contractualism and the foundations of morality

Southwood, Nicholas

59,43 €(IVA inc.)

Nicholas Southwood assesses contractualism as an account of the foundations or ultimate grounds of morality. While sceptical about how contractualism has typically been developed, he proposes a novel 'deliberative' version of contractualism, which he argues has the resources to offer an attractive and compelling account of morality's foundations.
