Theory Vs. Anti-Theory in Ethics: A Misconceived Conflict
New York, US: Oup Usa (2014)
Abstract
This book argues that theory formation in ethics might be, but does not have to be, grand; local and weaker theories can also be effective. Indeed, theory formation is far more varied than theorists and anti-theorists imagine it to be.Other Versions
