Theory, Practice, and Moral Reasoning
Abstract
Abstract This chapter discusses the relationship of moral theory to moral practice. It requires an investigation of the idea of a moral theory as well as an investigation of what might be meant by moral practice. Understood broadly, moral practice includes any attempt to determine what is morally permissible, forbidden, or obligatory in particular circumstances. The chapter investigates several models of what the relationship is or ought to be between theory and practice, so understood.
