Synopsis
This book invites philosophers and their students to consider two of the most fundamental questions in moral and political philosophy: Why be moral? And, what does morality require? Distinguished philosopher James P. Sterba presents his unique views on these topics. Sterba first argues from rationality to morality and then from morality to substantial equality. Prominent scholars Charles W. Mills, Candace A. Vogler, Anita Superson, Russ Shafer-Landau, Allan F. Gibbard, Gerald Gaus, and Tibor Machan provide thought-provoking critical responses. In the final part, Sterba addresses these critiques, inviting readers to explore the various arguments and reach their own conclusions on these fundamental questions of moral and political philosophy. Morality: The Why and What of It is an essential text for all students and scholars of ethics and political philosophy.

About the Author
James P Sterba
Review
James Sterba neatly weaves together meta-ethical and normative ethical arguments to the conclusions that morality is rationally required and that it requires substantial equality. His position is bold and original and will invigorate arguments in both areas of moral philosophy, as is evidenced already by the philosophical luminaries who critically respond.”
—Alan Goldman, Kenan Professor of Humanities, The College of William and Mary
In this engaging volume, well-known philosophers from a variety of philosophical orientations vigorous discuss James Sterba's bold claims that morality is required by reason and that even a minimal morality leads to broadly egalitarian commitments. The discussions are stimulating and illuminating, not least because they reveal often unrecognized connections between meta-ethics and normative social philosophy. As a whole, the book advances our understanding on several central philosophical topics.”
—Alison M. Jaggar, College Professor of Distinction, University of Colorado at Boulder
