Zusammenfassung:A student's guide to ethics and moral philosophy in its historical contextDownload a free sample chapter (pdf)How should we live? How should we act? How might we live? These are the three questions of moral philosophy. Brent Adkins traces the history of ethics and morality by examining six thinkers: Aristotle, Spinoza, Kant, Mill, Nietzsche and Levinas. The book is divided into 3 sections - Ethics, Morality and Beyond. Two thinkers are paired in each section to show you how the important questions of moral philosophy have been answered so that you might better answer them for yourself. You'll learn what the philosophers actually said about how to live the best kind of life and, more importantly, why.Key FeaturesEach chapter includes definitions of key termsThe end of each chapter includes summaries and discussion questions, which reinforce and apply the materialThe discussion of each thinker is centered on a specific text for ease of reference and clarity of understanding: Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, Spinoza's Ethics, Kant's Groundwork, Mill's Utilitarianism, Nietzsche's Genealogy and Levinas' 'Ethics as First Philosophy'Includes a glossary and a helpful timeline to contextualise each philosopher's life and work
