- Double-weighted statement
- This book consists of ten chapters, none of them previously published, on a topic of great scholarly importance: the ethical methods followed in two of the masterworks of ancient Greek philosophy, Plato’s Republic and Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics. In both works the authors attempt to derive ethical conclusions from claims about hu-man psychology, as well as from more general metaphysical and epistemological assumptions. The basic question of the book is about the extent to which students of ethics need to immerse themselves in these other areas, or whether ethics can be a more free-standing discipline.
