Vices, Virtues, and Consequences
Essays in Moral and Political Philosophy (Studies in Philosophy and the History of Philosophy)
by Peter Phillips Simpson
"Vices, Virtues, and Consequences offers a broad study of the basic and universal issues in ethics and politics, the issues of what the human good is and how to attain it and avoid its opposite. These questions have long been debated and are no less debated today. However, according to author Peter Phillips Simpson, within the mainstream of Anglo-American modern philosophy they have been debated too narrowly.
This narrowness is one of our modern vices, and it does much to encourage other vices, in particular that of despair of universal and objective reason. The essays in this collection not only attack these vices, but also attempt to replace them with the contrary virtues."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Details
First Sentence
"Anyone who proposes to give an overview of modern Anglo-American moral philosophy during the last one hundred years is immediately confronted by the fact that one of the more significant things that has recently taken place in this field is the presentation by one prominent Anglo-American moral philosopher of precisely such an overview."
