The Right And The Good by William David Ross
The book explores the complexities of moral philosophy, emphasizing the pluralistic nature of ethical duties and the importance of intuition in moral decision-making. It argues against a single, overarching principle to determine right action, proposing instead that multiple, prima facie duties—such as fidelity, reparation, and justice—must be considered and balanced in each situation. The work highlights the nuanced interplay between these duties and the role of moral judgment in discerning the right course of action, advocating for a more flexible and context-sensitive approach to ethics.
