Märksõnad:
This anthology contains readings in Western ethical theory by 27 philosophers from Plato to Bernard Williams. The late Denise (Syracuse U.) et al. begin with a section on classic ethical traditions and topics such as knowledge, virtue, and morality, and conclude with modern continuations and critiques of ideas such as social justice and religion. The introductions to philosophers have been revised, and the appendix on applied ethics (using the preceding readings) has been expanded. There is no index.
