John Skorupski

Recenzje

This is more than a work of intellectual history; Skorupski's discussion is critical, and he applies some of the lessons from this period to contemporary issues in ethics and metaethics. The range and depth of this book make it an indispensable resource for study of ethics, political theory, or the history of ideas.
