What does the idea of taking 'the point of view of the universe' tell us about ethics? Lazari-Radek and Singer defend objectivism in ethics, and hedonistic utilitarianism, following Henry Sidgwick's lead. They explore how to justify an ethical theory; conflicts of self-interest and universal benevolence; and whether we should discount the future. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Lazari-Radek and Singer do great justice to a tragically under-read moral philosopher in The Point of View of the Universe. The book tracks the ins and outs of Henry Sidgwick's analyses and arguments from his masterwork, The Methods of Ethics. While anyone interested in ethical theory would do well to read Sidgwick's work, no prior knowledge is necessary. The authors do a fantastic job of translating the Victorian English into modern day parlance, distilling the main themes and finer points, while contextualizing them with current moral philosophy. Highly recommended for anyone interested in applied ethics and normative theory. (
