By Stephen Darwall

Why is ethics a part of philosophy? Stephen Darwall's Philosophical Ethics introduces scholars to ethics from a distinctively philosophical viewpoint, person who weaves jointly valuable moral questions resembling “What has value?” and “What are our ethical obligations?” with primary philosophical concerns corresponding to “What is value?” and “What can an ethical legal responsibility consist in?”With one eye on modern discussions and one other on classical texts, Philosophical Ethics exhibits how Hobbes, Mill, Kant, Aristotle, and Nietzsche all did moral philosophy—how, for instance, they sought to realize perception into what has price via realizing what price itself is. After an introductory part, and one on major ways to metaethics, chapters speak about “modern” philosophical moralists—Hobbes, Mill, and Kant—and pre- and postmodern philosophical methods to ethics in Aristotle, Nietzsche, and the ethics of care.Throughout, the reader is invited to do—rather than simply learn about—philosophical ethics and, in doing so, to imagine via questions that face all considerate people. topics comprise the character of price and ethical legal responsibility, freedom and selection, human flourishing, excellence and benefit, radical opinions of morality, and the significance of relationships for human life.
