Ethics Without Principles

Jonathan Dancy presents a long-awaited exposition and defense of particularism in ethics a theory which he perhaps more than anyone else has developed and championed in recent years. Dancy''s controversial claim powerfully argued is that the traditional link between morality and principles or between being moral and having principles is little more than a mistake. Ethics without Principles is the definitive presentation of particularist ethical theory and will be required reading for all moral philosophers.
