Hare argued that it followed from the logic of these terms, when used in their full or specially moral sense, that moral utterances were 1 distinct from other utterances in being, not assertions about how the world is, but prescriptions about how we think it ought to be; and 2 distinct from other prescriptions in being universalisable , by which Hare meant that anyone who was willing to make such a prescription about any agent, e.

In this way Hare's theory preserved the important emotivist thesis that a person's moral commitments are not rationally challengeable for their content, but only for their coherence with that person's other moral commitments—and thus tended to keep philosophical attention away from questions about the content of such commitments. Hence cases like akrasia , where a moral commitment appears to be present in an agent but gets overridden by something else along the way to action, must on Hare's view be cases where something has gone wrong: either the agent is irrational, or else she has not really uttered a full-blown moral ought , a properly moral commitment, either because 1 the prescription that she claims to accept is not really one that she accepts at all, or 2 because although she does sincerely accept this prescription, she is not prepared to give it a fully universalised form, and hence does not accept it as a distinctively moral prescription.

In assessing a position like Hare's, Williams and other critics often begin with the formidable difficulties involved in the project of deducing anything much about the structure of morality from the logic of moral language: see e. These—Williams gives coward, lie, brutality and gratitude as examples—are concepts that sustain an ethical load of a culturally-conditioned form, and hence succeed both in being action-guiding for members of that culture , and in making available to members of that culture something that can reasonably be described as ethical knowledge.

Given that my society has arrived at the concept of brutality, that is to say has got clear, at least implicitly, about the circumstances under which it is or is not applicable, there can be facts about brutality hence, ethical facts and also justified true beliefs [ 8 ] about brutality hence, ethical knowledge. Moreover, this knowledge can be lost, and will be lost, if the concept and its social context is lost.

For a strikingly similar philosophical project to that suggested by this talk of thick concepts, cp. We do not suppose that all moral language not even—to gesture towards an obviously enormous difficulty—all moral language in English has always and everywhere had exactly the same presuppositions, social context, or cultural significance.

So why we should suppose that moral language has always and everywhere had exactly the same meaning, and has always been equally amenable to the analysis of its logical structure offered by Hare? Or by anyone else: it can hardly be insignificant that when G. Basing moral objectivism on the foundations of a linguistic approach leaves it more vulnerable to relativistic worries than other foundations do.

For on the linguistic approach, we also face a question of authority, the question why, even if something like the offered analysis of our moral language were correct, that should license us to think that the moral language of our society has any kind of universal jurisdiction over any society's. In its turn, this question is very apt to breed the further question how, if our moral language lacks this universal jurisdiction over other societies, it can make good its claim to jurisdiction even in our society.

These latter points about authority are central to Williams' critique of contemporary moral philosophy. What then are these features? That is a big question, because Williams spent pretty well his whole career describing and criticising them. This implies, second , that moral obligations cannot really conflict In any deliberative contest between a moral obligation and some other consideration, the moral obligation will always win out, according to the morality system.

The only thing that can trump an obligation is another obligation ; this is a fifth thesis of the morality system, and it creates pressure towards a sixth , that as many as possible of the considerations that we find practically important should be represented as moral obligations, and that considerations that cannot take the form of obligations cannot really be important after all Ninth , and finally, the morality system is impersonal.

I shall set this last feature of the system aside until section 4, and focus, for now, on the other eight. For each of the theses, Williams has something at least one thing of deep interest to say about why we should reject it. In real life, Williams argues, there surely are cases where we find ourselves under ethical demands which conflict.

These conflicts are not always eliminable in the way that the morality system requires them always to be—by arguments leading to the conclusion that one of the ought s was only prima facie in Ross's terminology: see Williams — , or pro tanto in a more recent terminology: see Kagan , or in some other way eliminable from our moral accounting.

Kanlayanatam biography of williams

Suppose for example [ 15 ] that I, an officer of a wrecked ship, take the hard decision to actively prevent further castaways from climbing onto my already dangerously overcrowded lifeboat. Afterwards, I am tormented when I remember how I smashed the spare oar repeatedly over the heads and hands of desperate, drowning people. Yet what I did certainly brought it about that as many people as possible were saved from the shipwreck, so that a utilitarian would say that I brought about the best consequences, and anyone might agree that I found the only practicable way of avoiding a dramatically worse outcome.

Moreover, as a Kantian might point out, there was nothing unfair or malicious about what I did in using the minimum force necessary to repel further boarders: my aim, since I could not save every life, was to save those who by no choice of mine just happened to be in the lifeboat already; this was an aim that I properly had, given my role as a ship's officer; and it was absolutely not my intention to kill or perhaps even to injure anyone.

So what will typical advocates of the morality system have to say to me afterwards about my dreadful sense of regret? My anguish is not irrational but entirely justified. Moreover, it is justified simply as an ex post facto response to what I did : it does not for instance depend for its propriety upon the suggestion—a characteristic one, for many modern moral theorists—that there is prospective value for the future in my being the kind of person who will have such reactions.

The third thesis Williams mentions as a part of the morality system is the obligation out-obligation in principle, the view that every particular moral obligation needs the backing of a general moral obligation, of which it is to be explained as an instance. Williams argues that this thesis will typically engage the deliberating agent in commitments that he should not have.

For one thing, the principle commits the agent to an implausibly demanding view of morality — :. But even if it does hold, it is not clear how the general duty explains the particular one; why are general obligations any more explanatory than particular ones? Certainly anyone who is puzzled as to why there is this particular obligation, say to rescue one's wife, is unlikely to find it very illuminating to be pointed towards the general obligation of which it is meant to be an instance.

Williams' closeness to certain particularist strategies should be obvious here: cp. Dancy , and Chappell Its real justification has nothing to do with the impersonal and impartial standards of morality, and everything to do with the place in the agent's life of the person he chooses to rescue. The notion that moral obligation is inescapable is undermined by careful attention to this concept of importance, simply because reflection shows that the notion of moral obligation will have to be grounded in the notion of importance if it is to be grounded in anything that is not simply illusory.

But if it is grounded in that, then it cannot itself be the only thing that matters. Hence moral obligation cannot be inescapable, which refutes the fourth thesis of the morality system; other considerations can sometimes override or trump an obligation without themselves being obligations, which refutes the fifth ; and there can be no point in trying to represent every practically important consideration as a moral obligation, so that it is for instance a distortion for Ross The Right and The Good , 21 ff.

Williams' Gauguin example, I have suggested, has force against the thesis that morality is inescapable. To understand this notion, begin with the familiar legal facts that attempted murder is a different and less grave offence than murder, and that dangerous driving typically does not attract the same legal penalty if no one is actually hurt.

Inhabitants of the morality system will characteristically be puzzled by this distinction. How can it be right to assign different levels of blame, and different punishments, to two agents whose mens rea was exactly the same—it was just that one would-be murderer dropped the knife and the other didn't—or to two equally reckless motorists—one of whom just happened to miss the pedestrians while the other just happened to hit them?

One traditional answer—much favoured by the utilitarians—is that these sorts of thoughts only go to show that the point of blame and punishment is prospective deterrence-based , not retrospective desert-based. There are reasons for thinking that blame and punishment cannot be made sense of in this instrumental fashion cp. UFA: , If this gambit fails, another answer—favoured by Kantians, but available to utilitarians too—is that the law would need to engage in an impossible degree of mind-reading to pick up all and only those cases of mens rea that deserve punishment irrespective of the outcomes.

Even if this is the right thing to say about the law, the answer cannot be transposed to the case of morality: morality contrasts with the law precisely because it is supposed to apply even to the inner workings of the mind. So morality presumably ought to be just as severe on the attempted murderer and the reckless but lucky motorist as it is on their less fortunate doubles.

Williams has a different answer to the puzzle why we blame people more when they are successful murderers, or not only reckless but lethal motorists, despite the fact that they have no voluntary control over their success as murderers or their lethality as motorists. His answer is that—despite what the morality system tells us—our practice of blame is not in fact tied exclusively to voluntary control.

We blame people not only for what they have voluntarily done, but also for what they have done as a matter of luck : we might also say, of their moral luck. The way we mostly think about these matters often does not distinguish these two elements of control and luck at all clearly—as is also witnessed by the important possibility of blaming people for what they are.

Parallel points apply with praise. Here success or failure is quite beyond Gauguin's voluntary control, and thus, if the morality system were right, would have to be beyond the scope of praise and blame as well. Williams' thesis about moral luck is that the wider notions are more useful, and truer to experience. Nor is it only praise and blame that are in this way less tightly connected to conditions about voluntariness than the morality system makes them seem.

Beyond the notion of blame lie other, equally ethically important, notions such as regret or even anguish at one's actions; and these notions need not show any tight connection with voluntariness either. Likewise, to use an example of Williams' own 28 , if you were talking to a driver who through no fault of his own had run over a child, there would be something remarkably obtuse—something irrelevant and superficial, even if correct—about telling him that he shouldn't feel bad about it provided it wasn't his fault.

As the Greeks knew, such terrible happenings will leave their mark, their miasma , on the agent. Do we understand the terror of that discovery only because we residually share magical beliefs in blood-guilt, or archaic notions of responsibility? MSH Essays 1—3. In this way, he controverts the eighth thesis of the morality system, its insistence on the centrality of blame; which was the last thesis that I listed apart from impersonality, the discussion of which I have postponed till the next section.

How far my discussion has delivered on its promise to show how Williams' positive views emerge from his negative programmes of argument, I leave, for now, to the reader's judgement: I shall say something more to bring the threads together in section 4. Before that, I turn to Williams' critique of utilitarianism, the view that actions, rules, dispositions, motives, social structures, …etc.

Again, as a normative system, utilitarianism is inevitably a systematisation of our responses, a way of telling us how we should feel or react. Of course, Williams also opposes utilitarianism because of the particular kind of systematisation that it is—namely, a manifestation of the morality system. Pretty well everything said in section 2 against morality in general can be more tightly focused to yield an objection to utilitarianism in particular, and sometimes this is all we will need to bear in mind to understand some specific objection to utilitarianism that Williams offers.

Thus, for instance, utilitarianism in its classic form is bound to face the objections that face any moral system that ultimately is committed to denying the possibility of real moral conflict or dilemma, and the rationality of agent-regret.
