RThe Obviousness of Epiphanies
Abstract
My book Epiphanies: An Ethics of Experience proposes an approach to ethics that begins not in attempts to systematise moral philosophy, but in our own experience of life as ethical subjects, ethical agents, and ethical patients. The Journal of Philosophy of Emotion has commissioned four philosophers to write brief commentaries on Epiphanies, and me to write a brief response to their commentaries. My response follows.
