| Abstract
|
:
|
Is morality fixed objectively, independently of all human judgment, or do we ""invent"" right and wrong? Articulating the Moral Community argues that neither of these simple answers is correct. Its central thesis is that, working within zones of objective indeterminacy, the moral community-the community of all persons-has the authority to introduce new moral norms.
