Bernard Williams (1929 - 2003) was one of the leading figures of the philosophy of morality in the second half of the 20th century. He has often been named as the representative of the anti-theoretical line of thinking. Morality, published in 1972, is Williams' first, but still widely quoted, work. At the time of publication, Morality was targeted mainly against the mainstream Anglo-American philosophy of morality, which saw ethics only as meta-ethics and semantics. It was believed that the main task of a philosopher is to merely analyse the language of morality, not to moralise, clean or axiomatise the norms of morality. Although in recent decades there has been the rebirth of practical or applied ethics, one of Williams' main critical statements is also valid for contemporary philosophy of morality theories are schematic and tend to lose touch with the depth and details of the realities of life.
