This selection of the work of Sabina Lovibond, one of the most distinctive voices in philosophy since the 1980s, draws on realist or rationalist traditions in moral philosophy, and addresses fundamental ethical questions--including those on feminist ethics, such as the nature of value, the good life, moral requirements, and character-formation.

Sabina Lovibond read Literae Humaniores (Classics) at Somerville College, Oxford, and began her postgraduate career at University College, London, where she gained a PhD in Philosophy. She returned to Somerville as holder of the Mary Somerville Research Fellowship (1979-82), and from 1982 to 2011 taught Philosophy at Worcester College, Oxford, where she held a Tutorial Fellowship from 1984. Her work has been mainly in ethics and feminist theory, but with some continuing input from the ancient philosophy background. The later philosophy of Wittgenstein has also been an enduring influence.
