Abstract

It is always fun to observe the wheel being reinvented. More often than not in philosophy this happens when young philosophers ignore the history of their field and attempt to come to terms with something not included in the latest journal articles. In this case, the end result is of some interest. The author, in stressing the relationship between fiction and reality, realizes that reality cannot be true without a moral aspect. In wrestling with this moral aspect the author quite rightly turns to ethics, culture and education in an attempt to allow for an account of our moral stance and to introduce it into practice. A very tricky, but a very worthwhile, project.
