A critical examination of contemporary moral theory reveals significant contradictions in the ability to make correct moral judgments. The author, Paul Johnston, explores the divisions within moral philosophy, highlighting the tension between those who doubt the possibility of accurate judgments regarding others' actions and those focused on defining "right" versus "wrong." His analysis uncovers how recent philosophical efforts often fail to resolve these inherent contradictions, offering a radical perspective on the state of modern moral thought.
