Description

Bernard Williams' Ethics and the Limits of Philosophy is a rich exploration of moral philosophy, reorienting ethics away from universal theories towards individual truth and meaning. Drawing on Greek philosophers, Williams examines difficult problems in contemporary philosophy, including relativism, objectivity, and the possibility of ethical knowledge. This book offers new insights into central issues in ethics, as well as commentary by A.W.Moore. It is a significant work by one of the greatest moral philosophers of his generation, Bernard Williams, who taught at several prestigious universities and wrote influential books on philosophy. Published in 2011, this edition includes a foreword by Jonathan Lear and features Williams' thought-provoking ideas on truth, truthfulness, and the meaning of an individual life.
