- Abstract:
- There are various versions of moral particularism, this dissertation deals with Jonathan Dancy's version of moral particularism. Dancy's particularism is a meta-ethical view maintains that the possibility of moral thought and judgment does not depend on the provision of a suitable supply of moral principles. This view is in contradiction to generalism. Dancy's particularism has two other main claims: there is no good reason to think that there is any suitable supply of moral principles, and moral principles, if there are any, are not useful. These claims are independent, but each of them depends on the doctrine of holism in the theory of reasons. This doctrine maintains that a feature that is a reason in one case may be no reason at all, or an opposite reason, in another. This study of particularism begins with an account of the concept of contributory reason. Then Dancy's holism and particularism are described. Also some criticisms of his particularism are outlined, and I try to provide some responses to them, from Dancy's own works. In epilogue, an interpretation of moral particularism is suggested, that claims it could be seen as a position tries to prepare the ground for a more comprehensive understanding of ethics, through criticizing the generalistic presuppositions of ethics
