Books by Professor Eric Thomas Weber

Argues the practical benefits for public policy of a rigorous experimentalist approach to applying moral theory. This book surveys the uses of practical philosophy and answers criticisms of the approach, presenting a number of areas in which philosophers' intellectual efforts can prove valuable for resolving public conflicts.
