How should we live? How should we act? How might we live? These are the three questions of moral philosophy.
Brent Adkins traces the history of ethics and morality by examining six thinkers: Aristotle, Spinoza, Kant, Mill, Nietzsche and Levinas. The book is divided into 3 sections – Ethics, Morality and Beyond. Two thinkers are paired in each section to show you how the important questions of moral philosophy have been answered so that you might better answer them for yourself. You’ll learn what the philosophers actually said about how to live the best kind of life and, more importantly, why.
Brent Adkins is Professor of Philosophy at Roanoke College. He is the author of A Guide to Ethics and Moral Philosophy (Edinburgh University Press, 2017, Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus: A Critical Introduction and Guide (Edinburgh University Press, 2015), Rethinking Philosophy and Theology with Deleuze: A New Cartography (Bloomsbury, 2013), True Freedom: Spinoza’s Practical Philosophy (Lexington Books, 2009) and Death and Desire in Hegel, Heidegger, and Deleuze (Edinburgh University Press, 2007).
