It is remarkably comprehensive for a short book, and it is outstanding for its integration of the presentation of basic positions in ethical theory and the analysis of major issues in moral psychology.\" \u003ci\u003eRobert Audi, University of Nebraska\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c!--end--\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"This book provides a lucid and engaging introduction to the major issues of moral theory which gives a fine sense of the complexities of the subject while remaining thoroughly accessible. What particularly impressed me is the way that Jacobs shows the relevance of the thought of classical authors, such as Aristotle, Hume, and Kant, to contemporary debate. There is a real sense of engaging in a continuing dialogue that spans the history of the subject. The book also contains a helpful glossary and study aids for the student.\" \u003ci\u003eDavid McNaughton, Keele University\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eJonathan Jacobs\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Department of Philosophy and Religion at Colgate University.

Other topics are under the heading of “moral psychology” and concern fundamental issues about the nature of moral agents, moral motivation, and the roles of reason, desire, and pleasure in moral action and experience. The book introduces metaethical and moral psychological positions and arguments and shows how they are generated and why they are important. It thereby brings to light some of the most important philosophical problems raised by moral theorizing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume formulates these issues of moral epistemology, the metaphysics of moral value, and moral motivation in a clear and rigorous but non-technical manner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989071315173,"sku":"NP9780631229636","price":153.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780631229636.jpg?v=1761782675","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/dimensions-of-moral-theory-isbn-9780631229636","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
