Why Is Moral Theory So Vague?

Authors

Abstract

Professor M. Sandel argues in the book Justice: What is the Right Thing to do, that virtue and the common good capture the essence of morality as well as that justice is dependent upon morality. These two arguments come from his well-known lectures with Harvard University. But can they be upheld? Or are these words -“virtue” and “common good”- building stones of morality?
