  abstract: This selection of Lovibond's shorter writings from 1989-2014 has a broad thematic unity based on its affiliation to the realist or rationalist traditions in moral philosophy. Some of the essays seek to clarify the relation of feminism to these traditions and to current anti-rationalist tendencies: especially important here are the status and prospects of normativity, autonomy, purposive action, and other conceptual resources for critical thinking called into question over the last third of the 20th century - not least by feminist writers heedful of 'Continental' European developments.
  table of contents: Feminism and postmodernism -- Feminism and pragmatism, a reply to Richard Rorty -- Feminism and the 'crisis of rationality' -- Meaning what we say, feminist ethics and the critique of humanism -- The feminist stake in Greek rationalism -- 'Gendering' as an ethical concept -- Ethical upbringing, from connivance to cognition -- Absolute prohibitions without divine promises -- Religion and modernity, living in the hypercontext -- 'In spite of the misery of the world', ethics, contemplation, and the source of value -- 'Ethical living' in the media and in philosophy -- Selflessness and other moral baggage -- Nietzche on distance, beauty, and truth -- Iris Murdoch and the ambiguity of freedom.
