Ethics Without Principles

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Presents an exposition and defence of particularism in ethics. The author's controversial claim, argued, is that the traditional link between morality and principles, or between being moral and having principles, is little more than a mistake. This is a presentation of particularist ethical theory, and is useful for moral philosophers.
