Abstract
A substantially new account of obligation, inspired by major thinkers in the Continental tradition Bryan Lueck offers a substantially new solution to a classic philosophical problem: how is it possible that morality genuinely obligates us, binding us without regard to our perceived or actual well-being? Staging a fruitful dialogue between the analytic and Continental philosophical traditions, while reflecting specifically on the work of Hegel, Merleau-Ponty, Serres and Nancy, Lueck offers a creative new approach. Building on Immanuel Kant’s fact of reason – the idea that being a moral subject presupposes that one has accepted the bindingness of obligation – Lueck shows that moral obligation must be rethought as the fact of sense. Key Features Presents a substantially new approach to the classic philosophical problem of the source of normativity Provides a detailed account of the history of western philosophical reflection on obligation Develops the ethical implications of the work of 20th century and contemporary Continental philosophers who are not typically regarded as moral philosophers Suggests new and fruitful paths of research on the work of Merleau-Ponty, Serres and Nancy "
