Ethical Intuitionism

Ethical Intuitionists believe that there are irreducible basic moral principles, that these principles are self-evident, and that rightness and goodness are indefinable properties which cannot be understood in wholly naturalistic terms. Twelve leading moral philosophers consider how these views are to be understood, and what implications they have for our understanding of morality. This volume is the first serious engagement with ethical intuitionism in the light of more recent developments in ethical theory.
