This book argues that the moral quality of an act comes from the agents inner states. By arguing for the indispensable relevance of intention in the moral evaluation of acts, the book moves against a mainstream, "objective" approach in normative ethics.
It is commonly held that the intentions, knowledge, and volition of agents are irrelevant to the moral permissibility of their acts. This book stresses that the capacities of agency, rather than simply the label "agent," must be engaged during an act if its moral evaluation is to be coherent. The author begins with an ontological argument that an act is a motion or a causing of change in something else. He argues that the source of an acts moral meaning is in the agent: specifically, what the agent, if aware of relevant facts around her, aims to accomplish. He then moves to a series of critical chapters that consider arguments for mainstream approaches to act evaluation, including Thomsons dismissal of the agent knowledge and volition requirements, Scanlons arguments for a derivative relevance of intentions to permissibility, Frowes "causal roles" of agents in the moral evaluation of acts, and Bennetts explicit defense of the objective approach. The book concludes by offering the authors preferred replacement for the objective approach, an Aristotelian-Thomist view of acts.
