Beschreibung
In this elegantly written book James Griffin offers a fresh examination of the fundamental questions of ethics. At the heart of the book lies the question of how we can improve our ethical judgements and beliefs. In addressing this central dilemma, Griffin discusses such key issues of moral philosophy as defining a good life, locating the boundaries of the natural world, how values relate to the world, judging the limits human capacity, and where moral norms originate. Beyond these considerations, he gives a critical assessment of the aims of such prominent philosophical traditions as utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics. Value Judgement gives a clear and compelling depiction of moral philosophy which will interest readers of all levels.

Über den Autor
James lives in Vienna, Austria, with his wife and two children. He's been a writer most of his adult life: as a journalist, as an editor and, for the past 12 years, as a speech writer for an international organisation. This is his first foray into children's books, but hopefully not his last.
