Comments on Chappell's 'Epiphanies': the Inspiring and the Purple, and the Worthy and the Dull

Kirchin, Simon (2022) Comments on Chappell's 'Epiphanies': the Inspiring and the Purple, and the Worthy and the Dull. Journal of Value Inquiry, 57 . pp. 173-184. ISSN 0022-5363. (KAR id:96132)

Abstract

An extended discussion of Sophie-Grace Chappell's 'Epiphanies' (OUP, 2022). In this piece I highlight the tension in Ephiphanies between so-called 'moral theory' and the epiphanic stance that Chappell takes. This tension raises questions for us all about methodology within moral philosophy and what we should be aiming to do. As well as detailing this tension, I offer some resolutions to it.
