{"title":"Individual Morality and the Morality of Institutions","authors":"T. Scanlon","doi":"10.2298/FID1601003S","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2298/FID1601003S","url":null,"abstract":"This paper discusses the relationship between moral philosophy and political philosophy. It holds that political philosophy in one way is part of moral philosophy since it deals with the content of moral standards governing the relations between individuals and institutions. This is the “morality of institutions”. But this also leads to conclusions about individual morality, which deals with standards applicable to individuals. On the basis of a contractualist conception of individual morality and a conception of the morality of institutions that closely follows John Rawls’ theory of justice, the paper addresses the question of the foundations of the obligation to comply with institution-defined standards that are directed towards individuals. At the end, it focuses in particular on the difficulty of rationalizing that obligation in the case of unjust institutions.","PeriodicalId":360455,"journal":{"name":"Institutions in Action","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131315901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
