A central question for moral epistemology is how our§moral beliefs §are justified. In Hugo Tristram Engelhardt, Jr. s§view, modern secular §philosophy fails to provide a justification for moral§belief. Despite §this failure, which he equates with the failure of§the Enlightenment §project, Engelhardt claims that we can peacefully§collaborate by §respecting one another's ability to agree or give§permission. In this §book, I respond to Engelhardt's claims by comparing§them with the §work of Alasdair MacIntyre, Harry G. Frankfurt,§Gilbert Harman, §David Lewis, and Jeffrey Stout. I argue that§justification is a process §of fitting our beliefs together to reach reflective§equilibrium. It relies §on shared conventions of thought and action that are§elements of §our culture. It doesn't rely on a special foundation§of unimpeachable §belief, but takes account of all our relevant§beliefs. Justification isn't §just a matter of what we think but of how we think.§When we say our §beliefs are justified, we mean that until proven§otherwise, we've §gathered our beliefs properly and we think we're§right. Justification §isn't perfect or infallible, but it's how we form the§best beliefs we §can. A central question for moral epistemology is how our§moral beliefs §are justified.
