Besprekingen

Works with three interacting concepts of rationality, impartiality, and the morality itself.

I'm not a big fan of the "justification" project in ethics, but surely this is one of the more astute attempts within that framework. Gert wisely focuses on AVOIDING HARM rather than ACHIEVING SUMMUM BONUM. Ethics is universalizable only to the extent that certain harms are minimized by adherence to the moral rules.

An important challenge.
