==Biography==
Dancy was educated at Winchester College and Corpus Christi College, Oxford.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Jonathan Dancy )〕 After graduating he served as a lecturer at Pembroke College, Oxford for a year. In 1971 he became a lecturer at Keele University, becoming professor there in 1991.〔 After having worked on problems of epistemology, and more particularly on the nature of perception (argument from illusion), he emerged as the leading proponent in ethics of moral particularism, the idea that all moral reasons are particular and context-sensitive, rather than general. He also defends what he calls the holism of reasons, namely the idea that a consideration that is a reason for acting in a certain way in one case may not be a reason for acting in that way, or even a reason for not acting in that way, in other cases. In this sense, reasons are context-dependent. Dancy argues that the holism of reasons provides a major support for the main claim of his particularism, i.e., that there are no moral ''principles'' but that ''morality'' can get on perfectly well without them. Dancy edited some of George Berkeley writings〔Silvia Parigi. (Berkeley Bibliography (1979-2010) )〕 and dedicated a book to the Anglo-Irish thinker.〔
In 1973 he married Sarah Birley; they have three children, including the actor and model Hugh Dancy. After being mentioned by his daughter-in-law, American actress Claire Danes, during an appearance on ''The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson'', Dancy appeared as a guest on the program on 1 April 2010.
