Normative Ethics

“規範倫理學”對當前關於道德的哲學觀點進行了全面介紹，根據後果、傷害和同意等因素審視了行為的正確性或錯誤性。 Shelly Kagan提供了道德因素和理論基礎之間的區分，反映當代道德哲學家的實際工作實踐。本書的前半部分對基本規範因素進行了系統調查，重點關注於每個因素的確切內容爭議性問題，範圍和意義，以及與其他因素的關係。本書的後半部分考察了關於規範倫理基礎的競爭理論，這些理論試圖解釋為什麼基本規範因素具有他們所具有的道德意義。針對哲學的上層或研究生，本書應該也呼籲一般讀者尋找清晰的道德哲學基本原則概述。

Providing a thorough introduction to current philosophical views on morality, Normative Ethics examines an act's rightness or wrongness in light of such factors as consequences, harm, and consent. Shelly Kagan offers a division between moral factors and theoretical foundations that reflects the actual working practices of contemporary moral philosophers.The first half of the book presents a systematic survey of the basic normative factors, focusing on controversial questions concerning the precise content of each factor, its scope and significance, and its relationship to other factors. The second half of the book then examines the competing theories about the foundations of normative ethics, theories that attempt to explain why the basic normative factors have the moral significance that they do.Intended for upper-level or graduate students of philosophy, this book should also appeal to the general reader looking for a clearly written overview of the basic principles of moral philosophy.
