Ethics (Unabridged‪)‬

A brisk introduction to the basic problems of ethics, this work consists of sharp, deep answers to foundational questions:


Do legal obligations have moral weight?


Can one act immorally towards oneself?


What is the objective basis of legitimate moral claims?


How do we know right from wrong?


How can there be moral responsibility in a deterministic world?



Rigorous yet approachable, this work is an ideal introduction to analytic ethics and value theory.
