Essays on the History of Moral Philosophy

J.B. Schneewind

0/5 ( ratings)

J. B. Schneewind presents a selection of his published essays on ethics, the history of ethics and moral psychology, together with a new piece offering an intellectual autobiography. The volume ranges across the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries: it includes Schneewind's early anti-foundationalist Moral Knowledge and Moral Principles, the classic The Misfortunes of Virtue, and other early essays on Kant's relation to pre-Kantian moral philosophy; also a long piece on The Active Powers, and Schneewind's own interpretation of Kant's moral philosophy. These writings provide excellent introductions to Schneewind's two long books, and supplement them in important ways.
