In "Morality and Mathematics," Justin Clarke-Doane embarks on a compelling journey through the landscapes of moral and mathematical realism, challenging the traditional perspectives that have long dominated philosophical discourse. With rigorous analysis and engaging prose, Clarke-Doane examines the foundational beliefs underpinning our understanding of both morality and mathematics, revealing the unexpected parallels and divergences that shape our conception of reality. He deftly argues against the common assumption that mathematical beliefs hold a superior position in terms of self-evidence, provability, and empirical justification compared to moral beliefs, inviting readers to reconsider the grounds of their epistemological standings. Clarke-Doane's exploration ventures beyond mere academic debate, touching on the practical implications that these philosophical quandaries have on our everyday lives. By questioning the objectivity of moral questions in contrast to mathematical ones, and suggesting that the former's objectivity is rooted in practical anti-realism, he opens up new avenues for understanding the essence of realism and objectivity themselves. This book not only challenges readers to rethink their positions on moral and mathematical realism but also emphasizes the importance of practical philosophy in addressing the most pressing questions of our time. "Morality and Mathematics" is a thought-provoking work that promises to reshape the contours of philosophical inquiry for years to come.
