Description

Derek Parfit's On What Matters Volume One is a seminal work in moral philosophy that presents a powerful new treatment of reasons and rationality. In this first volume, Parfit critically examines three major moral theories - Kant's ethics, contractualism, and consequentialism - before arriving at his own groundbreaking synthetic conclusion. Through a wide-ranging exploration of moral issues, including the significance of consent, treating people as a means rather than an end, and free will and responsibility, Parfit offers a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis. This book is already widely discussed in academic circles and is likely to establish itself as a key text for anyone working in moral philosophy. For readers interested in exploring the foundations of moral theory, On What Matters Volume One provides a rich and stimulating introduction to the subject.
