内容简介
This book examines the ways in which reasonable people can disagree
about the requirements of political morality. Christopher McMahon
argues that there will be a “zone of reasonable disagreement” surrounding
most questions of political morality. Moral notions of right
and wrong evolve over time as new zones of reasonable disagreement
emerge out of old ones; thus political morality is both different in
different societies with varying histories, and different now from what
it was in the past. McMahon explores the phenomenon of reasonable
disagreement in detail and traces its implications for the possibility of
making moral judgments about other polities, past or present. His
study sheds light on an important and often overlooked aspect of
political life, and will be of interest to a wide range of readers in moral
and political philosophy and in political theory.
