Abstract [Korean] |
In my paper, I partially defend Philippa Foot¡¯s view in answering the question ¡®why be moral?¡¯ In her book, Natural Goodness(2001) and her final paper, ¡°Rationality and Goodness¡± (2004), Foot proposes two ideas: Ethical Naturalism and, what I call, the ¡®Anti-HumeanTheory of Practical Rationality¡¯. In answering the question ¡®why be moral?¡¯, I argue that we should abandon the former and adopt the latter. In Section I, Idiscuss Foot¡¯s Anti-Humean Theory of Practical Rationality. In Section II, Iexamine Foot¡¯s Ethical Naturalism. I argue that it is no longer defensible. InSection III, I examine other possible ways to integrate the categories of practical rationality. One is to take a utilitarian approach and another is to take a Kantian approach. I argue that the latter approach is in harmony with Foot¡¯s Anti-Humean Theory of Practical Rationality. |
