This book examines the issue of moral realism from a pragmatist point of view, drawing attention to our human practices of ethical evaluation and deliberation. It defends the essentially ungrounded and humanly fundamental place of ethics in our thought and action. Ethics must remain beyond justification and ubiquitous in our human form(s) of life.

Sami Pihlström (born 1969) received his PhD in theoretical philosophy from the University of Helsinki, Finland, in 1996, with a dissertation entitled Structuring the World: The Issue of Realism and the Nature of Ontological Problems in Classical and Contemporary Pragmatism (Acta Philosophica Fennica, vol. 59). He currently holds the position of a University Lecturer of Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Helsinki. He is also Docent of philosophy at three Finnish universities (Helsinki, Turku, Kuopio). Pihlström has previously published three other books in English in addition to his dissertation: Pragmatism and Philosophical Anthropology (Peter Lang, 1998), Naturalizing the Transcendental: A Pragmatic View (Prometheus Books, 2003), and Solipsism: History, Critique, and Relevance (Tampere University Press, 2004). He is also the author of four books in Finnish. His publications also include dozens of articles on pragmatism, the problem of realism, transcendental arguments, and philosophy of religion in international and Finnish journals and anthologies.
