Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Moral Dilemmas is the second volume of collected essays by the eminent moral philosopher Philippa Foot, gathering the best of her work from the late 1970s to the 1990s. It fills the gap between her famous 1978 collection Virtues and Vice (now reissued) and her acclaimed monograph Natural

Goodness, published in 2001. In this new collection, Professor Foot develops further her critique of the dominant ethical theories of the last fifty years, and discusses such topics as the nature of moral judgement, practical rationality, and the conflict of virtue with desire and self-interest.

Moral Dilemmas, alongside her other two books, completes the summation of her distinctive and lasting contribution to twentieth-century moral philosophy.

Review:

"The subject of Mark Bernstein's thoughtful book is what makes something morally considerable....[The] arguments are always cogent, and, in my opinion, in many cases compelling....[an] excellent book."--Times Literary Supplement
