Riassunto

God and Morality evaluates the ethical theories of four principle philosophers, Aristotle, Duns Scotus, Kant, and R.M. Hare.

• Uses their thinking as the basis for telling the story of the history and development of ethical thought more broadly
• Focuses specifically on their writings on virtue, will, duty, and consequence
• Concentrates on the theistic beliefs to highlight continuity of philosophical thought

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"This book is important. It offers a profound contribution rather than the last word on theism and ethics" Ethical Perspectives

This is a splendid history of philosophical ethics, with special interest in God s presence and importance in that perennial enterprise, by one of the leading philosophers of ethics writing today. Hare tops off this surprising, exciting, and unorthodox history with an account of his own that collects together the best features of the theistic ethics of the past. God and Morality is written with crystal clarity and impressive scholarship. Robert Roberts, Baylor University
