The late J. L. Mackie and his work were a focus for much of the
best philosophical thinking in the Oxford tradition. His moral
thought centres on that most fundamental issue in moral philosophy
- the issue of whether our moral judgements are in some way
objective. The contributors to this volume, first published in
1985, are among the most distinguished figures in moral philosophy,
and their essays in tribute to John Mackie present views at the
forefront of the subject. Five of the essays give a new
understanding of the objectivity of moral judgements. These are by
Simon Blackburn, R.M. Hare, John McDowell, Susan Hurley and Bernard
Williams. The remaining contributors - Philippa Foot, Steven Lukes,
Amartya Sen, David Wiggins - give their attention to problems which
are equally compelling, such as the defence of a moral outlook
based on a conception of a need and of what follows from it. The
volume also includes the addresses given by Simon Blackburn and
George Cawkwell at the memorial service for John Mackie, and a list
of his publications, compiled by Joan Mackie.
