1. 1. Ethics

   A Very Short Introduction

   

   A clear, brisk introduction to moral philosophy that surveys major ethical theories (utilitarianism, Kantian deontology, virtue ethics), explores meta-ethical debates (realism, relativism, emotivism) and practical issues (rights, justice, bioethics), and argues for a pragmatic 'quasi-realist' view that preserves the force and objectivity of moral discourse without committing to robust metaphysical moral facts. It emphasizes how sentiments, reasons, and social practices shape moral judgments, critiques simplistic appeals to intuition or cultural relativism, and encourages reflective analysis of how ethical claims can be defended and acted upon in real-world dilemmas.

2. 2. Truth

   A Guide

   

   A clear, accessible guide to the central philosophical questions about truth, surveying major theories—correspondence, coherence, pragmatist, and deflationary approaches—while examining paradoxes, the relation between truth, belief and language, and the role truth plays in science and everyday inquiry; it aims to demystify technical debates for general readers and advocates a modest, practical appreciation of truth’s importance without indulging metaphysical extremes.
