Providing a thorough introduction to current philosophical views on
morality, Normative Ethics examines an act's rightness or wrongness
in light of such factors as consequences, harm, and consent. Shelly
Kagan offers a division between moral factors and theoretical
foundations that reflects the actual working practices of
contemporary moral philosophers.The first half of the book presents
a systematic survey of the basic normative factors, focusing on
controversial questions concerning the precise content of each
factor, its scope and significance, and its relationship to other
factors. The second half of the book then examines the competing
theories about the foundations of normative ethics, theories that
attempt to explain why the basic normative factors have the moral
significance that they do.Intended for upper-level or graduate
students of philosophy, this book should also appeal to the general
reader looking for a clearly written overview of the basic
principles of moral philosophy.
