Description

Explore a major work in moral philosophy with On What Matters: Volume One. As the long-awaited follow-up to Derek Parfit's landmark 1984 book, Reasons and Persons, this volume provides a deep look into the foundations of ethics and rationality. This text offers a powerful new treatment of reasons and rationality. Parfit conducts a critical examination of three major systematic moral theories: Kant's ethics, contractualism, and consequentialism. Through this rigorous study, he reaches a ground-breaking synthetic conclusion that challenges traditional views. Readers will find discussions on a wide range of vital moral issues. The book examines the significance of consent and the ethics of treating people as a means rather than an end. This volume is an essential addition for students and scholars of Western philosophy looking to engage with one of the most significant philosophical developments of the era.
