IEET Fellow Russell Blackford has authored a new book, The Mystery of Moral Authority.

Blackford describes the book as “a short monograph of about 45,000 words. That’s not a long read, but its long enough for me to explain my positive views about the nature and role of morality in a reasonably complete way.”

Available on Amazon, it is described there as:

“The Mystery of Moral Authority argues for a sceptical and pragmatic view of morality as an all-too-human institution. Searching, intellectually rigorous, and always fair to rival views, it represents the state of the art in a tradition of moral philosophy that includes Thomas Hobbes, David Hume, and J.L. Mackie.”

IEET congratulates Blackford on this publication.
