Summary
  • "How far can our moral beliefs and practices survive the reflective understanding we have of them? This is the question posed by Morality, Reflection, and Ideology, thus initiating a discussion in which the concept of the moral or ethical and the concepts of reflection and ideology appear together for the illumination of each. The intricate relations between them are explored by eminent contributors from the UK and the US, including Bernard Williams.
  • They demonstrate how the volume's leading question arises in a variety of different areas of philosophy, from the interpretation of Marx to the metaphysics of morals, and from moral psychology to ethical and political theory."--BOOK JACKET.
