Description
John Mackie's Ethics Inventing Right and Wrong is a comprehensive and accessible exploration of moral theory. The author presents a fresh approach to ethics, arguing that morality cannot be discovered but must be made.
Mackie examines the nature of ethics, considering it as a functional device that changes in response to human experiences. He also discusses the relationship between ethics and other fields such as psychology, metaphysics, law, and politics. This thought-provoking account draws on the contributions of influential thinkers and offers practical insights for both philosophical inquiry and everyday life.
