Luck, Value, and Commitment comprises eleven new essays which engage with, or take        their point of departure from, the influential work in moral and political        philosophy of Bernard Williams (1929-2003). Various themes of Williams's work are        explored and taken in new directions.In their essays, Brad Hooker, Philip Pettit,        and Susan Wolf are all concerned with Williams's work on the viability or wisdom of        systematic moral theory, and his criticism, in particular, of moral theory's        preoccupation with impartiality. David Enoch, Joseph Raz, and R. Jay Wallace address        Williams's work on moral luck, and his insistence that moral appraisals bear a        disquieting sensitivity to various kinds of luck. Wallace makes further connections        between moral luck and the 'non-identityproblem' in reproductive ethics.Michael        Smith and Ulrike Heuer investigate Williams's defence of 'internalism' about reasons        for action, which makes our reasons for action a function of our desires, projects,        and psychological dispositions. Smith attempts to plug a gap in Williams's theory        which is created by Williams's deference to imagination, while Heuer connects these        issues to Williams's accommodation of 'thick' ethical concepts as a source of        knowledge and action-guidingness. John Broome examines Williams's less-knownwork on        the other central normative concept, 'ought'.Jonathan Dancy takes a look at        Williams's work on moral epistemology and intuitionism, comparing and contrasting        his work with that of John McDowell, and Gerald Lang explores Williams's work on        equality, discrimination, and interspecies relations in order to reach the        conclusion, similar to Williams's, that 'speciesism' is very unlike racism or        sexism.
