The author writes...'This history of moral philosophy which runs
from the Greeks to contemporary Anglo-Saxon discussion is
necessarily compressed and selective, but is intended to enable the
general reader and the student to place particular texts in moral
philosophy in an historical perspective. The function of this
perspective is to clarify three kinds of historical and
philosophical connection whose importance is often underrated. The
first is a matter of the debts which moral philosophers owe to
their predecessors; the second concerns the question of the nature
of the moral concepts which furnish any moral philosopher with the
objects of his enquiry upon moral concepts themselves and the
extent to which the philosophical analysis of a concept may play a
part in transforming or even discrediting it. A consequence of
these preoccupations is that the book contains a higher proportion
of purely philosophical enquiry than might be expected in an
historical work.'
