What Is the Point of Moral Philosophy?
2025
Abstract
The first section of this chapter focuses on the point of one approach to moral philosophy. The second section considers some points of moral philosophy more generally and how they may conflict with having an impact on public policy. The third considers whether it is a point of moral philosophy to make people morally better. The final section considers a possible point (in the sense of aim) of some who do moral philosophy (rather than of moral philosophy per se).
