Description

Derek Parfit's Ethics offers a critical introduction to his influential moral philosophy. This Element explores Parfit's two most significant works, Reasons and Persons and On What Matters, and their contribution to the consequentialist moral tradition. Topics covered include rationality and objectivity, distributive justice, self-defeating moral theories, Parfit's Triple Theory, personal identity, and population ethics. A concise overview of Parfit's key ideas provides a solid foundation for understanding his wide-ranging ethical thought.
