The book is sparklingly clear and contains abundant insights and interesting arguments...a rich and rewarding book which will contribute greatly to a number of debates throughout moral philosophy.

Guy Fletcher, Ratio

Crisp advances substantial theses about reasons, welfare, pleasure, moral knowledge, intuition, moral disagreement, personal identity, impartiality, population axiology, and more...this bold and sweeping work contains quite a number of provocative discussions of interest to theoretical ethicists of many stripes.

Chris Heathwood, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

Because the book covers such a range of issues in such a short and well-integrated way, reading it will be illuminating for many...I can see ample reason for a moral philosopher to read this book: for its stimulation and sweep, and to wake one from one's dogmatic slumbers. Nod off for a second here, and you will miss crucial arguments entirely.

Henry S. Richardson, Mind

Se alle

Roger Crisp belongs in the company of Derek Parfit and Peter Singer as one of the most distinguished contemporary philosophical defenders of the legacy of Henry Sidgwick...This is an excellent work - clear, concise, and compelling. And it packs a powerful philosophical punch.

Bart Schultz, Ethics

In Reasons and the Good Roger Crisp answers some of the oldest questions in moral philosophy. Claiming that a fundamental issue in normative ethics is what ultimate reasons for action we might have, he argues that the best statements of such reasons will not employ moral concepts. He investigates and explains the nature of reasons themselves; his account of how we come to know them combines an intuitionist epistemology with elements of Pyrrhonist scepticism. He defends a hedonistic theory of well-being and an account of practical reason according to which we can give some, though not overriding, priority to our own good over that of others. The book develops original lines of argument within a framework of some traditional but currently less popular views.

Roger Crisp offers original and sometimes surprising answers to some of the deepest questions in philosophy, including: What reasons do we have for acting in one way or another? Are there moral reasons? What are reasons anyway? What makes for a good human life? How should we weigh the well-being of others against our own?

`Review from previous edition Roger Crisp's Reasons and the Good defends, in a forthright and amiable style, quite an array of doctrines in metaethics and normative ethics, many of which challenge orthodoxy. Crisp advances substantial theses about reasons, welfare, pleasure, moral knowledge, intuition, moral disagreement, personal identity, impartiality, population axiology, and more. . . . this bold and sweeping work contains quite a number of provocative discussions of interest to theoretical ethicists of many stripes. ' Chris Heathwood, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews `Roger Crisp presents answers to some of the oldest questions in moral philosophy. The book is sparklingly clear `nd contains abundant insights and interesting arguments. One strength is that it does not require substantial acquaintance with the literature in order to follow and benefit from the discussion, although those versed in the current debates will doubtless get more out of the book. The breadth of the book is also impressive. . . . Crisp 's most important theses are that: hedonism is the true account of well-being; that only well-being provides ultimate reasons and that the only reasons we have are of partial self-interest and pure impartiality. . . . this is a rich and rewarding book which will contribute greatly to a number of debates throughout moral philosophy.
