	Bernard Gert - Common Morality: Deciding What to Do - Reviewed by Philip Stratton-Lake, University of Reading - ...
		Gert argues that, given these two constraints, rational persons must endorse morality, and that this is 'the strongest justification of morality that it is possible to provide' (85).
		Although Gert thinks that all rational persons must endorse a general acceptance of morality and so maintains that it is never irrational to act morally, he does not think that all immoral actions are irrational (86).
		Gert's theory may be thought to be closer to common sense in the respect that he regards beneficence as a moral ideal whereas Ross regards it as a moral requirement.

		Gert begins by informing the reader that his book should be read as "part of the tradition that seeks to discover and defend a fundamental normative principle applicable to action" (4).
		Gert next argues against the view that normative reasons have one strength value that is used in determining the rational status of actions.
		Gert argues that typically such accounts implausibly assume that there is a unique degree of motivation that would be had by any idealized agent.

	Gert's Morality
		Although Gert's moral theory is sophisticated, it is presented with a clarity that enables it to serve as an excellent introduction for beginning philosophy students, as well as fruitful reading for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses.
		Bernard Gert's moral theory is among the clearest and most comprehensive on the contemporary scene.
		Gert criticizes utilitarianism, Kantianism, and aspects of virtue ethics, and some of the papers respond in their defense; so the volume is eminently useful as a supplement to course sections on those topics.

	Bernard Gert's Theory of Moral Rules and American Professional Military Ethics - Storming Media
		Gert's moral theoretical goal is to describe the common moral system that all moral agents implicitly use to make moral decisions the way competent speakers of a language implicitly use a grammatical system to speak a language.
		Gert has already argued in many articles and books that his moral decision procedure can be effectively used to make complex moral decisions in professional medical ethics.
		In chapter three I present a concise discussion of Gert's theory of moral rules, explaining key concepts he deploys and describing the moral decision procedure that is consistent with those concepts.

		And, as Plato observed, there are relatively few ways to do good, but there are countless ways to do evil, which can therefore have a much greater impact on our lives, and the lives of other beings capable of suffering.

		From a physical standpoint, "evil" could be defined as increasing entropy when the cost outweighs the benefit.

	Ethics
		Common Morality: Deciding What to Do by Bernard Gert (Oxford University Press) Unlike the usual texts on ethics where students are taught to identify types of moral theory with types of moral justifications, Gert’s new text rather challenges us to learn what it is to reason morally and impartially.
		In many ways Gert is the grand old man of practical ethics and this little book should make his procedures available to all who wish to act and access others actions upon a moral grid.
		In the first part of the book Gert lays out the fundamental features of common morality: moral rules, moral ideals, and a two-step procedure for determining when a violation of a moral rule is justified.

		Gert argues that “one may expand the group on any basis whatsoever, as long as one is prepared to have all moral agents act impartially with regard to this group whenever considering a violation of the moral rules.
		Gert notes that speaking in terms of moral rules and their violation and speaking in terms of fundamental “rights” may simply be two ways of talking about the same thing.
		Gert at 142: “...in real life situations most moral disagreement is the result of different beliefs about the facts, especially different beliefs about the probability of various evils occurring”.

		Democracy is a form of government in which the sovereign power is vested in the majority, rather than being vested in a smaller group, such as an aristocracy, or in one person, e.g., a monarchy.
		Although Hobbes, more than any other political philosopher, takes obedience to the government to be the overriding duty of citizens, he claims that citizens do not have a duty to obey a government that is ineffective, that is, does not provide protection to its citizens.

		There is a moral system, though, proffered by Bernard Gert in his book Morality: Its Nature and Justification, that I believe cannot only be held consistently by professional soldier, but that is very well suited to meet the needs of the modern military.
		By “irrational beliefs” Gert means any belief that would seem irrational to a person with sufficient knowledge and intelligence to be a moral agent.
		So, Gert’s system is in keeping with the goals of the Core Value program, but in order for it to be effective, one has to be able to use it to determine what the right thing to do is. Gert sets out a two step process to determining the morality of an action.

		by Bernard Gert, K. Danner Clouser, Charles M. Culver, M.D., PH.D. An updated and expanded successor to Culver and Gert's Philosophy in Medicine, this book integrates moral philosophy with clinical medicine to present a comprehensive summary of the theory, concepts, and lines of reasoning underlying the field of bioethics.

		Reading Gert is a real pleasure for the mind: not just the stringent logic and systematic proceeding you expect from a moral philosopher, but also a limpid style and an always unassuming non rhetorical tone.
		Gert tries to deal with these arguments, but the result is that when tested in a critical environment (say the laws condemning Socrates to death, the Nazi laws, forgiving for concentration camp survivors, conscience objection and its limits) the building trembles visibly.
		Gert's contribution, I'd declare Aristotle's Laws of Logic the place to begin from an epistemological perspective (for the layman, this is a math-style method of validation for how any topic gets itself reasoned out).

	Book Review
		Bernard Gert, a distinguished Professor of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy at Dartmouth College, has written a useful framework for those bedeviled and confused by the seemingly intractable ethical issues of the human genome exploration.
		In plain English - devoid of the usual convoluted language that would-be philosophers use to cover their inabilities - and from a sharp mind that has been fruitfully immersed in ELSI issues for a decade, Gert has devised an ethic applicable in the multicultural intellectual souks of the massive human genome exploration.
		Gert’s rules of Common Morality do not pretend to give us a unique answer to every moral question.

	Oxford University Press: Morality: Bernard Gert
		In this final revision, Gert makes clear that the moral rules are only one part of an informal system that does not provide unique answers to every moral question but does always provide a range of morally acceptable options.
		A new chapter on reasons includes an account of what makes one reason better than another and a second new chapter is devoted to the question of justifying violations of the rules.
		Throughout, Gert attempts to answer all of the challenges that his work has provoked.
