Foundations of Ethics

Reading

There's one main thing to read each week, plus suggestions for further reading. These are given in the Week-by-Week information. All the main readings are reprinted in:

Sterba, J. (ed.) (1998), Ethics – The Big Questions, Blackwell Publishers, Oxford, 170 ETH.

The suggestions for further reading should specially useful for preparing your assignment.

There are many many books and articles on our main topics- so it's quite likely that there are things out there which would be really useful to you - useful in taking your own thinking forward. Use the web and the library to find them - different things will speak to different people. I hope you will find it more rewarding to find your own than for me to give an enormous list - such lists are readily available if that is what you want. The The London Philosophy Study Guide is an excellent example at its best (but some topics are maintained more regularly than others).

The web has almost everything on it of course (well, I'm exaggerating, but still - how did we live without it?)

Don't forget Athens, available through your library registration.

Our own Warwick Fox has recently published a new approach to ethics:

Warwick Fox, A Theory of General Ethics, Cambridge Mass., 2006, MIT
