Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper explores the extent to which our assessment of how we ought to live, including how we ought to live under the guidance of law, is arrived at by engaging with our predicament in all its detail, rather than by abstracting ourselves from our it, that is, by reflection on the concrete rather than the general. The piece brings together case-law (the chestnut of Riggs v Palmer), the Dworkinian view of law-making, and meta-ethics to suggest the ways in which our local endeavours have the capacity to expand the moral universe, creating possibilities for goodness without precedent.
