| Ethical Perspectives March 2009 (vol 16/1) |
In this edition of Ethical Perspectives March 2009, Michael Hauskeller deconstructs the self-assurance transhumanists exhibit in accusing their opponents of basing themselves on outmoded moral presuppositions, arguing that their engagement appears to rest on equally (im)plausible points of departure.
Banu Kilan’s contribution examines Rawls’s concept of an ‘overlapping consensus’, insisting that the public dialogue and debate necessary for such a consensus are more fundamental than Rawls had imagined.
Renzo Llorente considers Singer’s theoretical principles, while Amir Saemi explores the extent to which moral justification is subjective or objective in character.
Isabelle Wienand concludes the edition with an article on different philosophical approaches to happiness. In spite of Kant’s suggestions to the contrary, it would appear that happiness is indeed a concept worthy of philosophical analysis.
