Underivative Duty: British Moral Philosophers from Sidgwick to Ewing

Editat de Thomas Hurka
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 feb 2011
These ten new essays by leading contemporary philosophers constitute the first collective study of a group of British moral philosophers active between the 1870s and 1950s, including Henry Sidgwick, Hastings Rashdall, G.E. Moore, H.A. Prichard, W.D. Ross, and A.C. Ewing. The essays help recover the history of this neglected period: they treat it as a unity, draw out the connections between the thinkers, engage philosophically with their ideas, and in so doing show how much they can contribute to present-day philosophical debates

Recenzii

All in all, Hurkas book is enjoyable ... Historians of this period and anyone interested in Ethical Intuitionism will find this work to be highly valuable.
Worthy of honorable mention is Roger Crisps chapter on Sidgwicks Hedonism. It matches careful exegesis with an interesting analysis of the strengths (and weaknesses) of the hedonistic position ... All in all, Hurkas book is enjoyable, and all of the articles are valuable in some way (as might be expected from such a distinguished group of scholars). The chapters are well-edited, and the topic is both important and under-examined. Historians of this period and anyone interested in Ethical Intuitionism will find this work to be highly valuable.
...with the resurgence of non-naturalism in the recent work, inter alia , of Nagel, Parfit, and Scanlon, a careful and sympathetic reexamination of the earlier non-naturalist tradition is peculiarly timely. This collection makes a most valuable case for and contribution to that reexamination.
