What We Owe to Each Other

Book • 2000
In *What We Owe to Each Other*, T. M. Scanlon presents a contractualist view of morality, arguing that moral judgments are based on principles that could not reasonably be rejected by others.

The book explores how this approach explains duties such as honesty and promise-keeping, and it challenges traditional views on reasons, value, and well-being.

Scanlon's work offers a novel perspective on moral philosophy, emphasizing the importance of mutual justification and criticism in understanding right and wrong.
