The Moral Limits of Modernity: Love, Inequality and Oppression - Hardcover
In many ways a challenge to prevailing forms of moral theory, this book reflects the authors feeling of a sense of the inadequacy of a rationalistic moral tradition to discern the moral realities that we face after Auschwitz and Hiroshima. The book suggests that our inherited Enlightenment frameworks may be part of the problem. Kant's rationalism, Wittgenstein's challenge to a Cartesian rationalism and the writings of Kierkegaard and Simone Weil are all discussed.
