How Bernard Williams Constructed his Critique of Kant's Moral Theory
Kantian Review 3:106-113 (1999)
Abstract
One of the more striking developments in contemporary philosophic discussions about morality has been the rise of anti-theory — the rejection of moral theories as ‘unnecessary, undesirable, and/or impossible’. Among those associated with this view have been Bernard Williams, John McDowell, Edmund Pincoffs and James Wallace.My notes
