Ethics A-Z (Paperback)

This alphabetic guide introduces the main positions, key figures, basic approaches, and central problems in ethical theory. Thorough and upto-date, it is a uniquely concise philosophical reference work on the subject. The entries range from antiquity to the present and from the basic to the more advanced. Extensive cross-references allow the reader easily to make and follow connections and pursue issues. Thus, there are entries on Aristotle, on virtue-centered theory and on eudaimonism; just as there are entries on hedonism, Bentham, naturalism, utilitarianism, and supervenience. The cross-references also enable the reader to follow through on topics to the desired degree of depth. Entries identify and explain complex issues of normative ethics, metaethics, and moral psychology without being technical.
