A Neo-Gewirthian Approach

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Ethic Within Reason, Edward Spence combats the attack against Alan Gewirth's argument for Principle of Generic Consistency. Gewirth's work often comes under scrutiny due to its unrelenting rationalist position. Spence bases his defense on Gewirth's strong justifications and resolution to traditional conflict.
