Extract

Bernard Gert's The Moral Rules is an original and important book that radically alters our perspective in moral philosophy. Its impact, if it receives the attention it deserves, should be considerable, for it is unlikely that anyone, having given due consideration to Gert's arguments, could go on doing ethics in quite the same way as he had done before, whether or not he found the arguments all finally convincing.

2 This example, incidentally, shows clearly that Gert has strayed from the understanding of public advocacy as what a rational man advocates using only those beliefs required by reason. For the competing beliefs here are plainly beliefs allowed by reason.
