BOOKS RECEIVED 635 alternative morality to the morality of rules, the morality of "equitable discretion," and that which morality it is appropriate to follow is a matter of social context (291). The fourth is that there are alternative moralities of rules, that the principles to be derived from such abstract theories as those of Kant and Bentham provide not rival sets of rules, but instead sets of rules each of which has a limited scope (293), so that there are particular cases in which it is right to behave as a Benthamite and others in which it would be right to act as a Kantian. And, if I understand the authors aright, the decision as to which type of rule to apply in a particular case cannot itself be rule-governed. What is needed to support these contentions is more than the authors supply, especially in two key respects. The relationship of different types of rules to their applications is a fundamental philosophical problem and it is no reproach to the authors that they allude to it only in a superficial way. In a book of this scope it could scarcely have been otherwise. A second crucial issue, on which the authors are largely silent, is that of how particular cases are to be described and what it is in a particular case that makes it right to describe it in one way rather than another. Here again Jonsen and Toulmin need to furnish better reasons than they do to render their more radical conclusions even plausible.
