Moral Theory : a non-consequentialist approach
Outline: This book and its companion volume Applied Ethics provide a much-needed alternative to consequentialist orthodoxy. This book set out the basic system used to solve problems, the system that consequentialist deride as "traditional morality" and which they believe is 'dead". The central concepts, principles and distinction or traditional morality are explained and defended: rights, justice, the good, virtue, the intention/foresight distinction, the acts/ommissions distinction and, centrally, the fundamental value of human life. By challenging contemporary thinking, this book make a distinctive and provocative contribution to current ethical debate, which will be useful both to undergraduates and professional philosophers.
