- catalog abstract ""Morality, according to Margaret Urban Walker, is a collaborative effort in which we jointly reproduce or shift our moral understandings in countless daily interactions. But not everyone has the same power to set or change moral terms. Moral Understandings explores morality as the practice of a responsibility expressive of our identities, values, and connections to others. Walker argues for an informed and politically critical ethics that reveals, rather than ignores or conceals, the moral significance of social differences." "This book effectively challenges the often uncritical assumptions about what we can know and for whom we can speak."--Jacket.".
