Rezensionen
"What Arrington has produced is a series of very sympatheticinterpretations of each featured philosopher. Special emphasis isgiven throughout the text to those historical figures who have hadthe most influence on recent analytical moral philosophy, includingAristotle, Hobbes, Butler, Hume, Kant and Mill. Of particularinterest to those who may consider using this text in their classesis the division of each chapter into concise segments that focus oneach philosopher's key concepts, the attempt to include the latestscholarship, and the helpful list of recommended readings." DougCarriker

"Professor Arrington has written a concise andwonderfully understandable introduction to the history of moralphilosophy in the West up to the twentieth century. I have no doubtthat this book will and should become a standard text for bothundergraduate and post-graduate study." Len Doyal, University ofLondon

"Arrington deals with the major figures of Western ethics withclarity and precision, but above all with unusual sympathy. Incombining respect for, and critical appraisal of each of the standsof Western thought, he conveys a sense of the rich weave of ourethical tradition." Richard D. Parry, Agnes ScottCollege
