Description and analysis of the main theories of ethics.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The book endeavors to provide a clear description and critical analysis of the main theories of ethics in the Western world from ancient times to the present: e.g. Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Mill, and some contemporary writers, and theories such as Epicureanism, Stoicism, utilitarianism, egoism, and other theories of ethics. The views of Ayn Rand are discussed, and distinguished from more traditional forms of egoism. There are also chapters on ethics and law, punishment, moral responsibility, justice (in relation to mercy and forgiveness), and the application of ethical principles to international relations.
