Sinopsis

Aún no disponible en español — se muestra la versión en inglés.

The Elements of Moral Philosophy is a 1986 ethics textbook by the philosophers James Rachels and Stuart Rachels. It explains a number of moral theories and topics, including cultural relativism, subjectivism, divine command theory, ethical egoism, social contract theory, utilitarianism, Kantian ethics, and deontology. The book uses real-life examples in explaining the theories. The author considers some problems such as relativism and moral subjectivism, religion and its relations with morality, the ethical and psychological selfishness of people, at the same time that he shows us some very important normative theories, such as Kantianism, utilitarianism, ethics of virtue, feminist ethics, and contractualist theories. The book is not intended to give a clear and unified theory about the "truth" of all of the analyzed topics, but does make some judgements about them through rational argument.
