Craig M. White

Acts, Intentions, and Moral Evaluation (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that the moral quality of an act comes from the agent's inner states. By arguing for the indispensable relevance of intention in the moral evaluation of acts, the book moves against a mainstream, 'objective' approach in normative ethics.
