A fascinating study of moral languages and their discontents, Ethics after Babel explains the links that connect contemporary moral philosophy, religious ethics, and political thought in clear, cogent, even conversational prose. Princeton’s paperback edition of this award-winning book includes a new postscript by the author that responds to the book’s noted critics, Stanley Hauerwas and the late Alan Donagan. In answering his critics, Jeffrey Stout clarifies the book’s arguments and offers fresh reasons for resisting despair over the prospects of democratic discourse.
