Moral generalism: Enjoy in moderation

Article Abstract:

Moral particularism contains two important strands, moral practice and moral domain and an attempt is made to challenge the second strand by defending a novel generalist account of the structure of the moral domain which is able to accommodate much of what is dear to particularists short of their particularism. Moderate generalism is found attractive because its appeal to hedged principles has considerable explanatory payoffs and also because that appeal fits with the practice of normative ethicists.
