Abstract
Adopting a historical approach, this introducion discusses in chronological sequence the theories of some of the major ethical philosophers. Norman redraws the traditional boundaries of the philosophical tradition to include not only Plato, Aristotle, Hume, Kant, and Mill, but also Hegelian ethics and the contributions of Marx and Freud to our understanding of the nature and limits of morality. Students and general readers will find this book an exceptionally clear survey of this important field of philosophical inquiry.
