Description

Moral Theory presents a non-consequentialist approach to solving moral problems. This system, often dismissed by consequentialists as 'traditional morality', is explored in depth, with its central concepts and principles explained and defended.

The book examines key aspects of traditional morality, including rights, justice, the good, virtue, intention/foresight distinctions, acts/omissions distinctions, and the fundamental value of human life. These concepts are central to understanding moral theory.
