Description

'Foot stands out among contemporary ethical theorists because of her conviction that virtues and vices are more central ethical notions than rights, duties, justice, or consequences - the primary focus of most other contemporary theorists.

This volume brings together a dozen essays published between 1957 and 1977, and includes two new ones as well.

In the first, Foot argues explicitly for an ethic of virtue, and in the next five discusses abortion, euthanasia, free will/determination, and the ethics of Hume and Nietzsche.

The final eight essays chart her growing disenchantment with emotivism and prescriptivism and their account of moral arguments.

All the essays embody to some extent her commitment to an ethics of virtue...Foot's style is straightforward and readable, her arguments subtle, ingenious, and some of them important.' Choice 'All in all, this collection of essays provides much to whet the moral philosopher's appetite.' International Philosophical Quarterly
