The Evil Within: Why We Need Moral Philosophy
New York: Oup Usa (2018)
Abstract
Slave-holders, Nazis, and psychopaths are indisputably bad people. But the ways in which they attempt to justify their actions provide uncomfortable parallels with our own moral deliberations. Moral philosophy provides tools for examining and evaluating our moral deliberations, and so serve an important function in moral education.Author's Profile
