Common Morality

Distinguished philosopher Bernard Gert presents a clear and concise introduction to what he calls common morality, the moral system that most thoughtful people implicitly use when making everyday, commonsense moral decisions and judgments. Common Morality is useful in that, while not resolving every disagreement on controversial issue it is able to distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable answers to moral problems. The distillation of over 40 years' scholarship, this book is the most accessible version of Gert's influential theory of morality as well as an eye-opening look at the moral foundations of our everyday actions.
