Ethics and Reality

A collection of essays by Jenny Teichman, published between 1965 and 2001, which cover the topic of scepticism. Many have been revised. If scepticism is irrefutable, then ethical reasoning has no connection with reality, and what look like genuine human dilemas must be purely imaginary. The essays in the first part of the book are intended to show that scepticism can be rebutted, while the essays in parts two and three are meant to exemplify the application of moral reasoning to inescapable quandaries.
