Rethinking the Good: Moral Ideals and the Nature of Practical Reasoning - Oxford Ethics Series
Temkin, Larry S. (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, Rutgers University)
In choosing between moral alternatives -- choosing between various forms of ethical action -- we typically make calculations of the following kind, using the principle of transitivity : A is better than B; B is better than C; therefore A is better than C. Larry Temkin shows is that if we want to continue making plausible judgments, we cannot continue to make these assumptions.
