The Oxford Handbook of Ethical Theory is a major new reference work
in ethical theory consisting of commissioned essays by leading
moral philosophers. Ethical theories have always been of central
importance to philosophy, and remain so; ethical theory is one of
the most active areas of philosophical research and teaching today.
Courses in ethics are taught in colleges and universities at all
levels, and ethical theory is the organizing principle for all of
them.
The Handbook is divided into two parts, mirroring the field. The
first part treats meta-ethical theory, which deals with theoretical
questions about morality and moral judgment, including questions
about moral language, the epistemology of moral belief, the truth
aptness of moral claims, and so forth. The second part addresses
normative theory, which deals with general moral issues, including
the plausibility of various ethical theories and abstract
principles of behavior. Examples of such theories are
consequentialism and virtue theory. As with other Oxford Handbooks,
the twenty-five contributors cover the field in a comprehensive and
highly accessible way, while achieving three goals: exposition of
central ideas, criticism of other approaches, and putting forth a
distinct viewpoint.
