User:Tom Morris/What We Owe to Each Other

What We Owe to Each Other is a work of moral philosophy written by T. M. Scanlon and published in 1998 by Harvard University Press. It advances a novel form of contractarianism that rejects the view advanced by David Hume and supported by many ethical thinkers since that desire (or "passions" to use Hume's original phrasing) forms the basis for a reason for action, and thus the basis for a normative moral command.
