Emotions shape our mental and social lives. Their relation to morality is, however, problematic. Since ancient times, philosophers have disagreed about the place of emotions in morality. One the one hand, some hold that emotions are disorderly and unpredictable animal drives, which undermine our autonomy and interfere with our reasoning. For them, emotions represent a persistent source of obstacles to morality, as in the case of self-love. Some virtues, such asprudence, temperance, and fortitude, require or simply consist in the capacity to counteract the disruptive effect of emotions. On the other hand, venerable traditions of thought place emotions such as respect, love, and compassion at the very heart of morality. Emotions are sources of moral knowledge,modes of moral recognition, discernment, valuing, and understanding. Emotions such as blame, guilt, and shame are the voice of moral conscience, and are central to the functioning of our social lives and normative practices. New scientific findings about the pervasiveness of emotions posit new challenges to ethical theory. Are we responsible for emotions? What is their relation to practical rationality? Are they roots of our identity or threats to our autonomy? This volume is born out of theconviction that philosophy provides a distinctive approach to these problems. Fourteen original articles, by prominent scholars in moral psychology and philosophy of mind, offer new arguments about the relation between emotions and practical rationality, value, autonomy, and moralidentity.

The Introduction and chapters 4, and 7 of this work are available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International open access licence. These parts of the work are free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.Whether and how rationality justifies morality is one of the fundamental questions of philosophy. This volume investigates Kant's distinctive and ambitious attempt to address this problem, by arguing that norms of rationality are not merely abstract requirements of thought, but also norms of self-constitution — the very principles by which rational beings govern themselves and shape their relations with one another. On this view, morality is not imposed from the outside but arises from what constitutes a moral subject. How exactly Kant argues for this bold claim, and whether he succeeds in securing the objectivity and authority of moral obligations, remain pressing questions. These questions lie at the centre of a vigorous and expanding debate that cuts across moral philosophy, the theory of practical reason, and action theory.Bringing Kant scholarship into conversation with cutting-edge work on constitutivism, autonomy, and practical knowledge, the essays collected in this volume probe unanswered questions, refine contested distinctions, and develop new methodological tools that open fresh paths of inquiry. By combining historical depth with philosophical innovation, this volume makes a compelling case for why Kant's account of rationality and morality remains an indispensable reference point for anyone concerned with the nature of normativity, the authority of obligation, and the self-constitution of rational agents.

This book explores the role of time in rational agency and practical reasoning. Agents are finite and often operate under severe time constraints. Action takes time and unfolds in time. While time is an ineliminable constituent of our experience of agency, it is both a theoretical and a practical problem to explain whether and how time shapes rational agency and practical thought.The essays in this book are divided into three parts. Part I is devoted to the temporal structure of action and agency, from metaphysical and metaethical perspectives. Part II features essays about the temporal structure of rational deliberation, from the perspective of action theory and theories of practical reasoning. Part III includes essays about the temporal aspects of failures of rationality. Taken together, the essays in this book shed new light on our understanding of the temporality of agency that coheres with our subjective sense of finitude and explains rational agency both in time and over time.Time in Action will be of interest to advanced students and researchers working on the philosophy of time, metaphysics of action, action theory, practical reasoning, ethical theory, moral psychology, and rational justification.

Religious diversity raises challenges that reverberate at multiple social and political levels. Religious institutions are sources of authoritative claims for believers. They play a crucial role in the articulation and negotiation of domestic conflicts within multicultural societies as well as at the international level. Religious Authorities and Practices of Conflict Resolution asks the following important questions: how is interfaith dialogue to be conceived and structured? Is such a dialogue even possible if each religious group is entitled to claim decisive and exclusive authority?The challenge is to explicate how religious authority is compatible with the principle of equal normative standing that is at the core of modern ethics and democracy and is capable of grounding shared action toward peace. This volume proposes that the challenge be addressed by taking a transdisciplinary approach, which appropriates resources and methods from different perspectives in philosophy, sociology, economics, and law. By integrating perspectives from philosophy, sociology, economics, and law, the book provides a holistic understanding of how religious authority can influence conflict resolution.

Are there such things as moral truths? How do we know what we should do? And does it matter? Constructivism states that moral truths are neither invented nor discovered, but rather are constructed by rational agents in order to solve practical problems. While constructivism has become the focus of many philosophical debates in normative ethics, meta-ethics and action theory, its importance is still to be fully appreciated. These new essays written by leading scholars define and assess this new approach in ethics, addressing such questions as the nature of constructivism, how constructivism improves our understanding of moral obligations, how it accounts for the development of normative practices, whether moral truths change over time, and many other topics. The volume will be valuable for advanced students and scholars of ethics and all who are interested in questions about the foundation of morality.

Ethical constructivism holds that truths about the relation between rationality, morality, and agency are best understood as constructed by correct reasoning, rather than discovered or invented. Unlike other metaphors used in metaethics, construction brings to light the generative and dynamic dimension of practical reason. On the resultant picture, practical reasoning is not only productive but also self-transforming, and socially empowering. The main task of this volume is to illustrate how constructivism has substantially modified and expanded the agenda of metaethics by refocusing on rational agency and its constitutive principles. In particular, this volume identifies, compares and discusses the prospects and failures of the main strands of constructivism regarding the powers of reason in responding to the challenges of contingency. While Kantian, Humean, Aristotelian, and Hegelian theories sharply differ in their constructivist strategies, they provide compelling accounts of the rational articulation required for an inclusive and unified ethical community.
