The value of democracy is taken for granted today, even by those interested in criticizing the fundamental structures of society. Things would be better, the argument goes, if only things were more democratic. The word ΓÇ£democracyΓÇ¥ means ΓÇ£the power of the people,ΓÇ¥ and scholars with a critical and progressive outlook often invoke this meaning as a way of justifying the honorific status accorded to the term: the power of the people to resist racism, sexism, imperialism, climate change, etc. But if the people have the power to resist these structures of domination and inequality, they also have the power to reinforce them. By treating democracy as an end in itself, political theorists of a critical bent overwhelmingly assume that the demos, if given the opportunity, will advance progressive or even radical politics. But given the recent successes of right-wing populism, and the persistence of pathological views such as climate skepticism, is this assumption still warranted? If not, then can democracy really save us?

Moral Judgment: Contemporary French, German and AngloAmerican Perspectives offers a novel account of the nature and justification of moral judgments by integrating Kantian and Aristotelian reflections on this subject. In the authorΓÇÖs view, moral judgments are ultimately grounded in the normativity of practical identities. In other words, it is by identifying the obligations tied to the multiple dimensions of our identities ( for example, friend, teacher, romantic partner, citizen) that we can ultimately understand how we ought to act. As both Aristotle and Kant recognized, however, doing so requires the acquisition of moral virtues which allow us to better discern practical reasons in concrete situations.This book is the first to relate analytic reflections on moral judgment to philosophical contributions on this topic stemming from both France and Germany, many of which remain untranslated.
