From the Back Cover

Post-Enlightenment philosophy rejects the aspiration to step outside language and practice in order to view their conformity to reality from "sideways on." Consequently -- it has been argued -- we ought to regard ourselves as answerable to one another, rather than to the world or the moral law. But in rejecting the notion of objectivity in favor of a purely epistemic conception of validity, Amesbury contends, we forfeit important resources required for criticizing and reforming our respective societies. In Morality and Social Criticism, Amesbury brings recent developments in Anglo-American philosophy into engagement with dominant currents in contemporary European social theory in order to articulate a pragmatic account of moral criticism. Presented in a lively and accessible style, Morality and Social Criticism moves the debate over critical theory beyond the alternatives provided by discourse ethics and deconstruction by arguing for a conception of moral objectivity that is grounded in the discursive practice of reason exchange.
