Synopsis
John Rist surveys the history of ethics from Plato to the present and offers a vigorous defence of an ethical theory based on a revised version of Platonic realism. In a wide-ranging discussion he examines well-known alternatives to Platonism, in particular--Epicurus, Hobbes, Hume and Kant, as well as contemporary "practical reasoners". His accessible study is enhanced by a strong sense of philosophical history, and will be of interest to students and scholars of ethics.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. Softcover. viii+295pp. As new condition. We're grading 'as new' because this copy is immaculate, perfect in every way except for one: at the upper right corner of the half-title is a small name stamp. The prior owner obviously stamped his name but never opened the book. (If you order this from outside the United States, we are likely to request an additional payment to help cover the postage.) Every order includes tracking and is wrapped and robustly packaged with care in Tucson, AZ. ~Mesquite Booksellers. Seller Inventory # 74106
