Should we tolerate or interfere with those with whom we disagree? Can those with profound moral differences find a way to live cooperatively together? Whether the issue is homosexuality, abortion, suicide, free speech, or female circumcision, moral disagreements within and among societies are a pervasive feature of the modern world. This anthology is the first to bring together classic and contemporary readings on this central problem in moral thinking. Bringing recent and historical philosophers--from Aquinas, Hume and Nietzsche to Nussbaum and Berlin--into dialogue with well-known anthropologists, "Moral Disagreements" allows the reader to evaluate current philosophical debates in a rich historical and interdisciplinary context. Christopher Gowans provides a comprehensive introduction to the topic and an extensive bibliography of recent literature.
Christopher W. Gowans is Professor of Philosophy at Fordham University, NY. He is the editor of Moral Dilemmas (1987) and the author of Innocence Lost: An Examination of Inescapable Moral Wrongdoing (1994).
