Scanlon's <i>What We Owe to Each Other</i> is one of the most significant works in moral philosophy of recent years. It presents distinctive views on reasons, value, and well-being, and offers a contractualist account of moral wrongness and significance. It has initiated debates on the nature of value, the role of well-being, how numbers matter in deciding what we should do, and the role justifiability plays in our moral thinking. <br /> <p><br /> </p> <p>In <i>On What We Owe to Each Other</i>, five leading moral philosophers assess various aspects of Scanlon's moral theory as laid out in this seminal work. Topics discussed include Scanlon's contractualism, his view on well-being, aggregation, the nature of moral properties, moral reasoning, and relativism. The book also includes a response by T.M. Scanlon in which he clarifies and develops his views.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Philip Stratton-Lake</b> is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Reading.
