Living High and Letting Die: Our Illusion of Innocence
Unger, Peter (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, New York University)
Unger argues that our intuitions about ethical cases are generated not by basic moral values, but by certain distracting moral mechanisms that encourage deceptive reactions. He proposes a complex and novel metaethics arguing that we easily generate a lenient or tough context in which to make ethical assessments.
