Morality and Immorality: Classic Readings in Ethics

BY CALEB CLANTON

Morality and Immorality is a carefully edited anthology of the most influential primary sources in the history of moral philosophy and ethical reflection. Organized by major moral theories – from relativism and egoism to utilitarianism, deontology, natural law, and divine command theory – this volume includes seminal reflections on the nature of morality from such towering figures as Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Kant, Mill, and W.D. Ross. Each reading is concisely introduced by the editor, providing context and thematic guidance.
