ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explains about the analysis of justification procedures. It examines how the plausibility of scepticism has been destroyed. Whether the arguments succeed or not is a matter to be decided in the dialectic of further philosophical inquiry. There may be some discontent with two other broad features of the analysis: the choice of presumptive criteria; and the synthesis of axiology, deontology, and agent morality. If the arguments in are substantially valid, is no more and no less than what can be expected of a prolegomenon to moral theory: a demonstration that a rational moral theory is both possible. It is rarely adequate to analyze situations involving violence, solely in terms of the values involved, solely in terms of duty, obligation, and responsibility, or solely in terms of the character of those involved.
