1. The Tasks Of Philosophy
A collection of essays arguing that philosophy’s central tasks are conceptual clarification, critical diagnosis of modern moral fragmentation, and the recovery of an ethical framework grounded in practices, virtues, and historical traditions; it challenges emotivism and individualistic moral theories, insists that moral reasoning requires attention to the narrative unity of human life and communal standards, and defends the need to situate philosophical inquiry within broader historical and social contexts to make moral judgments rational and intelligible.
