Conclusion
Keyword(s):
The concluding chapter explores some of the features of a practice-based approach to ethical theory. It contends that rather than being isolated in one or another compartment or ignored completely, practice should be, and in fact is, integral to all aspects of ethical theory. Because dominant models do not and cannot take practice seriously, we cannot foreground practice within the usual theoretical confines. To understand practice, we have to reshape ethical theory, and vice versa. We will not find real alternatives unless we put practice front and center. Beginning with practice makes it possible to rethink our vision of ethics at the same time as it demands such a rethinking.
