About Ethics In The Public Domain: Essays In The Morality
Product Description In the past twenty years Joseph Raz has consolidated his reputation as one of the most acute, inventive, and energetic scholars currently at work in analytic moral and political theory. This new collection of essays forms a representative selection of his most significant contributions to a number of important debates, including the extent of political duty and obligation, and the issue of self-determination. He also examines aspects of the common (and ancient) theme of the relations between law and morality. This volume of essays, available in one volume for the first time, will be essential to legal philosophers and political theorists. Review "The arguments throughout both sections are carefully and reasonably developed and invariably shed significant light on the principles addressed."-- Choice "...a powerful collection of essays on morality, politics, and law."-- The Journal of Philosophy "Joseph Raz is the creator of a distinctive, powerful, and appealing philosophical vision, further defended and elaborated in this fine collection of sixteen essays."-- The Philosophical Review From the Back Cover This important collection of essays opens with a pivotal essay on the implications of the moral duties which arise out of concern for the well-being of others. The first part of the book concentrates on the consequences of two central aspects of well-being: the importance on membership in groups--the role of belonging--and the active character of well-being--that it largely consists in successful activities. About the Author Joseph Raz is at Balliol College, Oxford.
