Principled Ethics is an excellent work of philosophy...No philosopher working on particularism should ignore McKeever and Ridge's arguments...All in all, Principled Ethics is a highly stimulating read

Daniel Star, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

an impressive counterblast to the particularists, and a genuine contribution to the debate

Jonathan Dancy, TLS

Despite the attractions of particularism, most philosophers feel that it misses something. McKeever and Ridge turn these vague worries into razor-sharp objections. Then they develop a moderate alternative view of how principles work in morality. For anyone tempted to become a particularist, this book is a powerful deterrent.

Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, Dartmouth College

Moral philosophy has long been dominated by the aim of understanding morality and the virtues in terms of principles. However, the underlying assumption that this is the best approach has received almost no defence, and has been attacked by particularists, who argue that the traditional link between morality and principles is little more than an unwarranted prejudice. In Principled Ethics, Michael Ridge and Sean McKeever meet the particularist challenge head-on, and defend a distinctive view they call "generalism as a regulative ideal."
