Produktbeschreibung

Ethics: The Key Thinkers introduces the individuals who have wrestled with core moral questions and shaped how we understand ethics today, from what constitutes a good life to arguments about what is right and wrong.

Chapters are organised chronologically and cover figures from a wide range of traditions in ancient, modern and contemporary philosophy, explaining exactly how a particular individual has changed the development of ethical theory as a whole. Alongside chapters on Plato, Aristotle, Marx and Nietzsche, this fully updated 2nd edition now provides:

· A global approach to the history of ethics, featuring new chapters on Confucian, Buddhist and African thinkers
· Further reading guides to the latest writing on each thinker
· A conclusion that looks ahead to new directions in contemporary ethical theory

For anyone looking to better understand the ideas, people and debates behind one of philosophy's most important subjects, Ethics: The Key Thinkers is the ideal starting point.
