Excerpt from Moral Science: Or the Philosophy of Obligation In 1869 the author published his work on Moral Philosophy which has been in use until the present time in various Colleges and other Schools east and west. The authors confidence in the doctrines set forth in the book has not diminished with the lapse of time, but in the general progress of ethical thought and discussion, the appearance of new ideas or theories, and the disappearance of some of the older statements, a revision of the work has become necessary. The principal changes introduced will be found in connection with the discussion of theories, and are intended to adjust the discussion to the present condition of ethical thought. Changes in other parts are verbal or formal rather than essential. The use of the term Science in place of Philosophy, in the title, has no special significance. It is simply a conformity to prevailing usage. It has not seemed desirable to enlarge the book by the introduction of treatises on the Will and the Sensibility. Of course no view of obligation can be presented which does not assume some position in reference to the essential qualities of personality, and the conditions and limits of personal responsibility.

The principal aim of this book is to develop and defend an analysis of the concept of moral obligation. What it seeks to do is generate new solutions to a range of philosophical problems concerning obligation and its application. Amongst these problems are deontic paradoxes, the supersession of obligation, conditional obligation, actualism and possibilism, dilemmas, supererogation, and cooperation. By virtue of its normative neutrality, the analysis provides a theoretical framework within which competing theories of obligation can be developed and assessed.

In many histories of modern ethics, Kant is supposed to have ushered in an anti-realist or constructivist turn by holding that unless we ourselves 'author' or lay down moral norms and values for ourselves, our autonomy as agents will be threatened. In this book, Robert Stern challenges the cogency of this 'argument from autonomy', and claims that Kant never subscribed to it. Rather, it is not value realism but the apparent obligatoriness of morality that really poses a challenge to our autonomy: how can this be accounted for without taking away our freedom? The debate the book focuses on therefore concerns whether this obligatoriness should be located in ourselves (Kant), in others (Hegel) or in God (Kierkegaard). Stern traces the historical dialectic that drove the development of these respective theories, and clearly and sympathetically considers their merits and disadvantages; he concludes by arguing that the choice between them remains open.
