Overview

Covering moral intuition, self-evidence, non-inferentiality, moral emotion and seeming states, Hossein Dabbagh defends the epistemology of moral intuitionism. His line of analysis resists the empirical challenges derived from empirical moral psychology and reveals the seeming-based account of moral intuitionism as the most tenable one. The Moral Epistemology of Intuitionism combines epistemological intuitionism with work in neuroethics to develop an account of the role that moral intuition and emotion play in moral judgment. The book culminates in a convincing argument about the value of understanding moral intuitionism in terms of intellectual seeming and perceptual experience.

Reviews

How does moral cognition work? And do our moral judgments ever amount to genuine knowledge? In this outstanding book, Hossein Dabbagh answers both questions: along the way, the intuitionist moral epistemology he develops shows how to resist empirically motivated moral skepticism and to vindicate intuitions as the foundation of moral knowledge. * Hanno Sauer, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Utrecht University, The Netherlands *
