This history of moral philosophy which runs from the Greeks to Contemporary Anglo-Saxon discussion is necessarily com- pressed and selective, but is intended to enable the general reader and the Student to place particular texts in moral philosophy in an historical perspective. The function of this perspective is to clarify three kinds of historical and philosophical connection whose importance is offen underrated. The first is a matter of the debts which moral philosophers owe to their predecessors; the second concerns the question of the nature of the moral concepts which furnish any moral philosopher with the objects of his enquiry and of the history of the development of changes in those concepts; the third is the question of the influence of philosophical enquiry upon moral concepts them- selves and the extent to which the philosophical analysis of a concept may play a part in transforming or even discrediting it. A consequence of these preoccupations is that the book con- tains a higher proportion of purely philosophical enquiry than might be expected in an historical work.
