A modern approach to Ethics?

Kekes talks about how Ethics should be approached in his article Enigma of Everyday Lives.

He talks about how modern ethics should not be theoretical, abstract, general, impersonal. Instead, it should be practical, concrete, specific, and personal.

So, what he says is that there is no answer to some hard questions coz both sides have compelling reasons

Instead of finding an abstract blanket solution, pit two people or situations who have been there against each other. What do they think is the solution. That will be practical and may provide answers to those seeking it diligently.
