This is the second volume in a new series of classic readings in
philosophy and collects together the central texts in the history
of moral philosophy thus representing many of the most important
topics in the field. It will serve as an invaluable resource for
students of all levels taking courses in ethics or moral theory.
The texts selected range from Plato to Stevenson, and include
the classics of western moral philosophy such as Aristotle's
remarks on man's proper "function," Kant's discussion of "the good
will" and Nietzsche's notorious "genealogy" of our moral concepts.
The volume also includes some classics from other traditions such
as the debate between the two Confucians, Mencius and Hsun Tzu, and
the early chapters from "The Bhagavad Gita."
The editor provides guidance to both the field and to each
reading by including a substantial general introduction on the
nature and history of philosophical ethics. There are also
informative short introductions to the individual texts.
