Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. On What Matters is a major work in moral philosophy. It is the long-awaited follow-up to Derek Parfit's 1984 book Reasons and Persons, one of the landmarks of twentieth-century philosophy. In this first volume Parfit presents a powerful new treatment of reasons and rationality, and a critical examination of three systematic moral theories -- Kant's ethics, contractualism, and consequentialism -- leading to his own ground-breaking synthetic conclusion. Along the way he discusses a wide range of moral issues, such as the significance of consent, treating people as a means rather than an end, and free will and responsibility. On What Matters is already the most-discussed work in moral philosophy: its publication is likely to establish it as a modern classic which everyone working on moral philosophy will have to read, and which many others will turn to for stimulation and illumination. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR004374938

About the book >.>.> On What Matters: Volume One Book by Derek ParfitDerek Parfit?s *On What Matters: Volume One* examines fundamental questions in practical philosophy, including reasons, rationality and morality. Its six parts are arranged across two volumes. Part One develops an extended discussion of reasons and rationality, providing background for Parfit?s arguments about morality in Parts Two and Three. Those central chapters grow out of three Tanner Lectures delivered at the University of California, Berkeley, in November 2002. They address moral questions and seek to reconsider the relationship between consequentialist views, which make an act?s rightness depend solely on its overall consequences, and Kantian arguments. Part Four contains revised responses to the Berkeley lectures by Thomas Scanlon, Susan Wolf and Allen Wood, alongside a contribution from Barbara Herman, who did not take part in the Berkeley events. Part Six turns to meta-normative questions raised by the use of normative language in claims about reasons and morality. (MP). Artikel-Nr. Batch-FM796-VG-15678
