Knowing What to Do: Imagination, Virtue, and Platonism in Ethics

Exploring the nature of philosophical ethics, the author examines how conventional moral theories often oversimplify complex moral landscapes. Central to her inquiry is the question of how individuals can discern the right course of action. She advocates for the cultivation of moral imagination as a means to navigate ethical dilemmas, suggesting that a richer understanding of morality emerges from engaging with real-life situations rather than adhering strictly to established theories.
