Is common-sense morality self-defeating?
Journal of Philosophy 76 (10):533-545 (1979)
Abstract
When is a moral theory self-defeating? I suggest the following. There are certain things we ought to try to achieve. Call these our moral aims. Our moral theory would be self-defeating if we believed we ought to do what will cause our moral aims to be worse achieved. Is this ever true? If so, what does it show?Author's Profile
