Is it rational to be moral? Can moral disputes be settled
rationally? Which criteria determine what we have a good reason to
do? In this innovative book, Logi Gunnarsson takes issue with the
assumptions made by many philosophers faced with the problem of
reconciling moral norms with a scientific world view. His
discussion includes substantial critical engagement with thinkers
from two very different traditions, and is notable for its clear
account of Habermas' discourse ethics. It will appeal to anyone
interested in practical reason and the rational credentials of
morality.
