Setting the Moral Compass : Essays by Women Philosophers: Essays by Women PhilosophersCheshire Calhoun Professor of Philosophy Colby College Oxford University Press, USA, 28 nov. 2003 - 400 pages Setting the Moral Compass brings together the (largely unpublished) work of nineteen women moral philosophers whose powerful and innovative work has contributed to the "re-setting of the compass" of moral philosophy over the past two decades. The contributors, who include many of the top names in this field, tackle several wide-ranging projects: they develop an ethics for ordinary life and vulnerable persons; they examine the question of what we ought to do for each other; they highlight the moral significance of inhabiting a shared social world; they reveal the complexities of moral negotiations; and finally they show us the place of emotion in moral life. |
