About the Book
The failure of the practical application of moral principles gives moral failure an outward appearance of moral respectability. On one hand, they are insuffi cient to quell the moral liberal’s unhappy skepticism and, on the other, they are a sanctuary for the rigid absolutism of moral fundamentalists. In different ways, moral principles provide both with a ready made excuse to abdicate their moral responsibility – the one pleads the ignorance of the agnostic, the other the infallibility of faith. The tragedy is that others pay the price for their moral incompetence.
