- Summary
- "Moral Theory and Anomaly considers and rejects the claim that moral theory is too Utopian to apply properly to worldly pursuits like political office-holding and business, and too patriarchal and speciesist to generate a theory of justice applicable to women and the non-human natural world."--BOOK JACKET. "This book brings together moral theory and applied ethics in an unusual way, and, while it is anti-sceptical, it does concede that there is likely to be only slow progress from the current state of conflict between mainstream utilitarian, Kantian and virtue theories to something better that makes their different insights cohere."--BOOK JACKET. "This volume is essential reading for anyone working in contemporary ethics and moral philosophy."--Jacket.
