Abstract
|
:
|
"A distinguished moral philosopher and a leading interpreter of Kant's ethics, Barbara Herman draws on Kantian resources to address central issues in ethical theory as well as challenges posed by current moral problems, such as our obligations to the distant needy, the bearing of history on ideas of reparative justice, and the moral challenges posed by circumstances of political transition. Resisting various Kantian orthodoxies, Herman offers a view of moral competency as a complex achievement, governed by rational norms and dependent on supportive social conditions. She argues that the objectivity of duties and obligations does not rule out the possibility of or need for moral invention."--Jacket.
