1. Philosophical Ethics
This book offers an analytic, accessible survey of central problems in moral philosophy, examining metaethical questions about moral language and justification alongside competing normative theories (consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics), and exploring moral psychology, responsibility, and the nature of moral reasons and obligations. Emphasizing careful conceptual analysis and argumentative clarity, it brings out how notions of justification, authority, and interpersonal demands shape our understanding of moral judgment and practical deliberation, and it assesses how different theoretical frameworks handle concrete moral problems.
