In this sense, moral knowledge?as a publicly available resource for living?has disappeared. Via a detailed survey of main developments in ethical theory from the late 19th through the late 20th centuries, Willard explains philosophy?s role in this shift. In pointing out the shortcomings of these developments, he shows that the shift was not the result of rational argument or discovery, but largely of arational social forces?in other words, there was no good reason for moral knowledge to have disappeared. 606 $aEthics, Modern$y20th century 606 $aCivilization, Western$y20th century 615 0$aEthics, Modern 615 0$aCivilization, Western 676 $a170.904 700 $aWillard$b Dallas$f1935-2013,$01830467 702 $aPorter$b Steven L.$f1970- 702 $aPreston$b Aaron 702 $aTen Elshof$b Gregg$f1970- 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911011291003321 996 $aThe disappearance of moral knowledge$94400823 997 $aUNINA
