| Summary |
"Moral Theory: A Non-Consequentialist Approach sets out the basic system used to solve moral problems, the system that consequentialists deride as 'traditional morality' and which they believe is 'dead'. The central concepts, principles and distinctions of traditional morality are explained and defended: rights, justice, the good, virtue, the intention/foresight distinction, the acts/omissions distinction and, centrally, the fundamental value of human life."--BOOK JACKET |
