Virtues and Reasons

Twelve eminent philosophers from both sides of the Atlantic here offer essays exploring topics in moral philosophy to which Philippa Foot has made a distinctive contribution. There are chapters on virtue ethics, naturalism, non-cognitivism, relativism, categorical requirements, and the role of rationality in morality. Professor Foot is one of the most original and widely respected philosophers of recent years; the outstanding work gathered in Virtues and Reasons offers an impressive demonstration of her continuing influence on the development of moral philosophy.
