About the book
"The debate surrounding contingency has emerged as a litmus test for the acceptability of a moral theory. Both Kantians and Eudaimonists agree that any attempt to deal with the problems of contingency will force an abandonment of something important in our actual moral commitments and, as a result, the problems of contingency cannot, as Bernard Williams has written, "leave morality where it was." In this original new work, Daniel Patrone makes clear the history and implications of this debate. Emerging from the deadlock between the Kantian and the Eudaimonist positions is the particularist position. Leaving Morality Where It Is describes and thinks through every facet of this debate. It is an indispensable work for philosophers in general and for ethicists (of every stripe) in particular."--Jacket.
