What is the human good? What are the primary virtues that make a good person? What makes an action right? Must we try to maximize good consequences? How can we know what is right and good? Can morality be rationally justified? In Ethics Through History, Terence Irwin addresses such fundamental questions, making these central debates intelligible to readers without an extensive background in philosophy. He provides an extended historical and philosophical discussion of the major questions and key philosophers in the history of ethics, from Socrates onwards. Irwin covers notable ancient, medieval, and modern moral philosophers whose engaging arguments have formed the agenda for contemporary ethical theory, paying particular attention to both the strengths and weaknesses of their respective positions.
