Jonathan Dancy on Moral Particularism

I mentioned a podcast in class called "Philosophy Bites", which contains an interview with an eminent (usually British, because the philosophers producing it are British) philosopher. The podcasts address different topics in contemporary philosophy (usually Analytic philosophy).

The link for the podcast's website is http://philosophybites.com/, but I have also included a link directly to the podcast that I mentioned in class. That was a short interview with Jonathan Dancy, who was speaking about "Moral Particularism".  This topic would be of interest to you specifically because it presents an objection to the basic premise behind deontology--namely, that morality is expressed by the rules that govern our actions.

FYI: these podcasts are all free.
