INDEX
James Griffin asks how, and how much, we can improve our ethical standards
—
not lift our behaviour closer to our standards but refine the standards themselves.
To give an answer to this question it is necessary to answer most ot the questions
of ethics. So
Vilim·
Judgement includes discussion ot what a good lite is like, where
the boundaries of the 'natural world' come, how values relate to that world, how-
great human capacities
—
the ones important to ethics are, and where moral
norms come
trom.
Throughout the book the question of what philosophy can contribute to ethics
repeatedly arises. Philosophical traditions, such as most forms of utilitarianism and
deontology and virtue ethics, are. Griffin contends, too ambitious. F.thics cannot
be what philosophers in those traditions expect it to be because agents cannot be
what their philosophies need them to be.
This clear, compelling, and original account of ethics will be of interest to -anyone
concerned with thinking about values: not only philosophers but legal, political,
and economic theorists as well.
'a tme contribution to an active field
. . .
metaphysical and ethical, logical and
illuminating, argued but not argumentative, above all intelligent but also wise
.
a
fine and
finek
restrained display of a maturity that has no need to show oft. While
the concision of the text spares the reader's time, the range of reference of the
endnotes may occupy a student with time enough and to spare. Little is imposed,
and much is made accessible. Oxford moral philosophy is in safe hands.'
A. VV. Price, Philosophical Books
'Griffin's new book is impressive in the philosophical courage invoked in his
resolution not to be trapped in the stereotyped shapes of contemporary
philosophical debates. He argues in a clear and conclusive way'
Monique Canto-Sperber,
Times Litenny Snpple?nent

of Oxford.
