Whatever happened to good and evil?
Shafer-Landau, Russ.
2004, Oxford University Press
ISBN 9780195168730, print
Verified edition
This book provides an introduction to moral philosophy and focuses on certain core issues, e.g. whether our ethical views can themselves be true or false, whether their truth (if truth these is) lies in personal or cultural opinion, what are moral values etc., and how can we know what is right and wrong. This book should be read in its entirety, at the first seminar we will discuss certain of the main issues, but it is meant as a constant companion during the entire course.
