Wittgenstein On Moral Certainty
Moral certainty is a growing research area in philosophy with implications for current debates on hinge epistemology, moral change and deep moral disagreements. Despite several distinctive lines of disagreement, two assumptions are shared in the current discussion of moral certainty. The second is the understanding that Wittgenstein's later writings do not feature any work on the topic of moral certainty. In this article, we challenge the latter …
Pistols, pills, pork and ploughs: The structure of technomoral revolutions
The power of technology to transform religions, science, and political institutions has often been presented as nothing short of revolutionary. Does technology have a similarly transformative influence on societies’ morality? Scholars have not rigorously investigated the role of technology in moral revolutions, even though existing research on technomoral change suggests that this role may be considerable. In this paper, we explore what the role …
New Perspectives on Moral Change: Anthropologists and Philosophers Engage with Transformations of Life Worlds
The world we live in is constantly changing. Climate change, transforming gender conceptions, emerging issues of food consumption, novel forms of family life and technological developments are altering central areas of our forms of life. This raises questions of how to cope with and understand the moral changes implicit in such alterations. This volume is the first to address moral change as such. It brings together anthropologists and philosophe…
Philosophical Perspectives on Moral Certainty
Moral certainty refers to those aspects of morality – moral acting, feeling, and thinking – that are beyond doubt, explanation, and justification. The essays in this book explore the concept of moral certainty and its application and usefulness in contemporary moral debates. The notion of moral certainty, which is inspired by the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, is emerging as a key reference point in contemporary moral philosophy. An investiga…
Each Other’s World, Each Other’s Fate—Løgstrup’s Conception of Basic Trust
Since the publication of Annette Baier’s agenda-setting article entitled ‘Trust and Antitrust’, trust has become an increasingly popular topic, not only in moral philosophy and epistemology but also in the fields of economics, psychology, anthropology and the social sciences. Yet, the importance of K.E. Løgstrup’s highly original work on trust is still not fully recognised. In this article, we try to remedy this oversight by comparing three domin…
Moral progress: Recent developments
Societies change over time. Chattel slavery and foot-binding have been abolished, democracy has become increasingly widespread, gay rights have become established in some countries, and the animal rights movement continues to gain momentum. Do these changes count as moral progress? Is there such a thing? If so, how should we understand it? These questions have been receiving increasing attention from philosophers, psychologists, biologists, and s…
