Items related to Moral Notions
Morality is often thought of as non-rational or sub-rational. In Moral Notions, first published in 1967, Julius Kovesi argues that the rationality of morality is built into the way we construct moral concepts. In showing this he also resolves the old Humean conundrum of the relation between 'facts' and 'values'. And he puts forward a method of reasoning that might make 'applied ethics' (at present largely a hodge-podge of opinions) into a constructive discipline. Kovesi's general theory of concepts - important in its own right - is indebted to his interpretation of Plato, and his three papers on Plato, first published here, explain this debt. This new edition of Moral Notions also includes a foreward by Philippa Foot, a biography of the author, and a substantial afterword in which the editors, Robert Ewin and Alan Tapper, explain the signficance of Kovesi's work.

From the Inside Flap:
"Moral Notions is a minor classic of moral philosophy that has not yet received its due." – Alasdair MacIntyre
"This is a thoroughly disturbing book, and should lead to some agonising reappraisals. Moral philosophy courses are due for a new look; Kovesi’s challenge is timely, and there is material here for several dozen prolific seminars." – Bernard Mayo, Mind, 1969
"Moral Notions is an original and thought-provoking book which I read again with real pleasure." – Philippa Foot

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fair. [From the library of noted scholar William E. Connolly.] Bound in red cloth. Hardcover. No dust jacket. Shelf wear. Binding slightly cocked. Some pages folded. Scattered underlining and markings through out by Connolly. "William E. Connolly is Krieger-Eisenhower Professor in the political science department at Hopkins where he teaches political theory. His early book, The Terms of Political Discourse, was awarded the Benjamin Lippincott Award in 1999 as 'a work of exceptional quality that is still considered significant at least 15 years after publication.' In a poll of American political theorists published in PS in 2010, he was ranked the fourth most influential political theorist in America over the last twenty years, after Rawls, Habermas, and Foucault. His work focuses on the issues of democratic pluralism, capitalism, inequality, fascism, and bumpy intersections between capitalism and planetary amplifiers in climate change." - Johns Hopkins University.
