Annette C. Baier Boeken
Annette Baier was een vooraanstaand moraalfilosoof en Hume-kenner, met een bijzondere focus op Humes morele psychologie. Ze leverde ook belangrijke bijdragen aan de feministische filosofie en de filosofie van de geest, beïnvloed door haar collega Wilfrid Sellars. Baier onderzocht ethische theorieën, onderzocht kritisch traditionele filosofische concepten en benadrukte het belang van relaties en afhankelijkheid in het morele leven. Haar werk nodigt lezers uit om de fundamenten van moraliteit en menselijke verbinding te heroverwegen.

Through her Carus Lectures, she argues for the interdependence of minds, asserting that reasoning and intention formation rely on a shared mental commons. Despite this, Baier highlights that moral reflection remains underdeveloped as a social capability, suggesting that a collective understanding of morality is not guaranteed.
