Moral Vision : How Everday Life Shapes Ethical Thinking, Paperback by Cady, Duane L., ISBN 074254494X, ISBN-13 9780742544949, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Are people being reasonable when they make moral decisions if they cannot supply compelling arguments, criteria, necessary and sufficient conditions, decisive empirical evidence, and the like, asks Cady (philosophy, Hamline U., Minnesota). He argues that formal reasoning happens within conceptual frameworks, but that it cannot prove or provide those frameworks. Metaphor, allegory, parable, narrative, and life experiences all help frame and guide moral reasoning, he says, and though they are not reducible to formal reasoning, neither are they irrational.
