Michael A. Slote

Michael A. Slote is a philosopher known for his work in ethics and deontic logic, which explores the logic of obligations and permissions. He emphasizes the importance of human emotions and moral sentiments in ethical decision-making, arguing that our understanding of right and wrong is deeply connected to our feelings. Slote's perspectives challenge traditional views by suggesting that moral reasoning involves not just rules, but also compassion and empathy, helping to bridge the gap between rational thought and emotional intuition in ethical discussions.
