Conclusions

Abstract

In this chapter, I summarize the main claims that I endorse in the book. The claims are organized thematically, and I provide references to the specific sections and chapters in which I discuss the themes. The main themes are: 1. General Theses and Methodological Assumptions; 2. Reflective Equilibrium and Coherence as a Source of Moral Knowledge; 3. Social Aspects of Moral Knowledge; 4. Experience and Observation as Sources of Moral Knowledge; 5. Knowing the Difference Between Right and Wrong, Ryle’s Puzzle, and Losing Moral Knowledge. My hope is that this chapter will be useful for those who wish to read selectively.
