Brewer, Talbot

36,56 €(IVA inc.)

Talbot Brewer offers a new approach to ethical theory, founded on a far-reaching reconsideration of the nature and sources of human agency. He argues that ethical reflection is itself a centrally important life activity, and philosophical ethics is an extension of this practical activity rather than just a theoretical reflection upon it.
