FROM META-ETHICS TO ETHICS - ELENI M KALOKAIRIN...

This book brings out the way in which the twentieth century philosopher R. M. Hare has
attempted to break the deadlock to which his contemporary moral theories had been led  i.e.
irrationalism and relativism. Taking his point of departure from these theories  he suggests
that the logical rules we reach from the linguistic analysis of moral language can have
implications on the normative level  which in their form are in agreement with the principle of
utility. So he differs from his contemporary philosophers because he argues that we engage in
moral philosophy with a view to clarifying and solving the practical problems we face in life.
In this sense he is an ardent defender of the practical relevance of philosophy. Hare's moral
account is closely analyzed in this book and his main theses are tested not only for internal
coherence but also for their capacity to resist all rational criticism.
