Description

Explore the core foundations of moral and political philosophy with Morality: The Why and the What of It from Routledge. This academic text addresses two of the most essential questions in the field: Why should we be moral, and what are the actual requirements of morality? Distinguished philosopher James P. Sterba provides a unique perspective on these dilemmas. The book follows a structured logical path, starting with an argument that moves from rationality to morality, and subsequently transitioning from morality to the concept of substantial equality. This work is designed for philosophers and students seeking a deep dive into ethical theory. To provide a well-rounded academic experience, the text includes critical responses from a group of prominent scholars, including Charles W. Mills, Candace A. Vogler, Anita Superson, Russ Shafer-Landau, Allan F. Gibbard, Gerald Gaus, and Tibor Machan. This collection of viewpoints offers a comprehensive look at Sterba's arguments, making it a valuable resource for classroom study and independent research in ethics and morality.
