This leads him to suggest a novel answer to the Companions in Guilt argument that the denial of morality would mean relinquishing rationality as well. Marks disarms the argument by conceding the irreality of both morality and logic, but is still able to rescue rationality while dispensing with morality on pragmatic grounds. He then offers a positive account of how life may be lived productively without recourse to attributions and assertions of right and wrong, good and bad, and even truth and falsity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten in an accessible and engaging style, \u003ci\u003eReason and Ethics \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of interest to scholars and students working in metaethics as well as to the generally intellectually curious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoel Marks\u003c\/strong\u003e is professor emeritus of philosophy at the University of New Haven and a Bioethics Center Scholar at Yale University.
