Abstract

This article discusses the moral fanatic from the perspective of universal prescriptivism. (I) I discuss the thesis of universalizability and prescriptivity, and this from universal prescriptivism to utilitarianism. (II) I discuss the problem of moral fanatic and counterargument developed by Hare in the book Freedom and Reason. (III) I discuss the counterargument developed by Hare in Moral Thinking. (IV) I discuss the limits of the arguments of the fanatic. (V) I conclude that the counterargument of fanatic moral does not imply a contradiction in universal prescriptivism.
