What ways do we have for understanding charity and philanthropy?
How do we come to think in these ways? In this volume, historians
of antiquity, the middle ages, early modern thought, and the
Victorian era discuss the evolution of thinking about and
practicing voluntary giving, taking up some inescapable questions
about charity.
J.B. Schneewind's remarkable book is the most comprehensive study ever written of the history of moral philosophy. Its aim is to set Kant's still influential ethics in its historical context by showing in detail what the central questions in moral philosophy were for him and how he arrived at his own distinctive ethical views. In its range, analyses, and discussion of the subtle interweaving of religious and political thought with moral philosophy, this is an unprecedented account of the evolution of Kant's ethics.
Sixteen essays confront the current debate about the relationship between philosophy and its history. Part I contains more purely theoretical and methodological discussions, while Part II considers a number of case-histories drawn from ancient, early modern and more recent philosophy.
