The Oxford Handbook of Ethical Theory

Abstract

The Oxford Handbook of Ethical Theory contains twenty-two chapters written by distinguished scholars. The first part treats meta-ethical theory, dealing with theoretical questions about morality and moral judgment, including questions about moral language, the epistemology of moral belief, and the truth aptness of moral claims. The second part addresses normative theory, dealing with general moral issues, including the plausibility of various ethical theories such as consequentialism and virtue theory.
