It reconfigures reflective equilibrium as both a cognitive ideal and a method for approximating this ideal. The ideal of reflective equilibrium is restructured using the concept of discursive strata, which are formed by sentences and differentiated by function. Sentences that perform the same kind of linguistic function constitute a stratum. The book shows how moral discourse can be analyzed into phenomenal, instrumental, and teleological strata, and the ideal of reflective equilibrium reworked in these terms. In addition, the work strengthens the method of reflective equilibrium by harnessing the resources of decision theory and inductive logic. It launches a comparative version of decision theory and employs this framework as a guide to moral theory choice. It also recruits quantitative inductive logic to inform a standard of inductive cogency. When used in tandem with comparative decision theory, this standard can aid in the effort to turn the undesirable condition of reflective disequilibrium into reflective equilibrium.Theory and Decision Library A:, Rational Choice in Practical Philosophy and Philosophy of Science,0921-3384 ;49EthicsOperations researchDecision makingMathematicsSocial sciencesEthicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000Operations Research/Decision Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000Mathematics in the Humanities and Social Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M32000Ethics.Operations research.Decision making.Mathematics.Social sciences.Ethics.Operations Research/Decision Theory.Mathematics in the Humanities and Social Sciences.10170519658.40301Welch John Rauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1225650BOOK9910484149603321Moral Strata2845671UNINA
