About the book >.>.> The Development of Ethics: Volume 1: From Socrates to the Reformation by Terence Irwin is a selective historical and critical study that focuses on moral philosophy within the Socratic tradition, emphasising Aristotelian Naturalism. This volume explores the formation, elaboration, criticism, and defence of moral philosophy, addressing key topics such as the human good, human nature, justice, friendship, and morality. It also delves into the methods of moral inquiry, the virtues and their connections, will, freedom, responsibility, reason and emotion, along with relativism, subjectivism, realism, and the theological aspects of morality.Beginning with Socrates, the Cyrenaics, and the Cynics, the text provides an extensive examination of Plato and a thorough account of Aristotle, highlighting the systematic naturalism inherent in his philosophy. Comparisons are drawn between the Stoic and Aristotelian perspectives, while the views of the Epicureans and Sceptics are addressed more succinctly. The book culminates in discussions of early Christianity and Augustine, paving the way for an in-depth analysis of Aquinas? revisions and elaborations of ethical thought. It closes with insights into the criticisms and developments presented by figures such as Scotus, Ockham, Machiavelli, and certain sixteenth-century Reformers.Irwin's work is not merely descriptive or narrative; it adopts a philosophical lens, engaging critically with the material to foster deeper understanding of the ethical landscape leading to the Reformation. This volume sets the stage for the subsequent parts, which will continue the exploration of moral philosophy up to and including Rawls?s Theory of Justice. (MP). Artikel-Nr. Batch-FM774-VG-15367
