Principled Ethics - McKeever, Sean (, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Davidson College, North Carolina) a Ridge, Michael (, University of Edinburgh)

The underlying assumption that this is the best approach has received no defence, and has been attacked by particularists, who argue that the traditional link between morality and principles is little more than an unwarranted prejudice.
