This volume provides a wide-ranging and lucid introduction to the
major ethical theories found in the history of Western
philosophy.
The book begins with the ethical thought of Socrates and the
Sophists in the fifth century BCE and concludes with the philosophy
of Nietzsche at the end of the nineteenth century CE. An epilogue
traces parallels between twentieth century ethical theories and
those found in the previous history of the subject. Special
attention is given to theories that have exerted considerable
influence on contemporary ethics, namely those of Aristotle,
Hobbes, Butler, Hume, Kant, and Mill.
It is an ideal text for all introductory courses in ethics and
moral philosophy.
