Jonathan Dancy

Opis

Jonathan Dancy presents a long-awaited exposition and defense of particularism in ethics, a theory which he, perhaps more than anyone else, has developed and championed in recent years. Dancy's controversial claim, powerfully argued, is that the traditional link between morality and principles, or between being moral and having principles, is little more than a mistake. Ethics without Principles is the definitive presentation of particularist ethical theory, and will be required reading for all moral philosophers.

Recenzje

The book is high-octane philosophy. The structure is clear, the writing elegant, the argument peppered with outlooks into other areas of philosophy. A formidable experience.
