Det Rätta Och Det Goda
Det rätta och det goda publicerades 1930 och utgör ett centralt bidrag till den moderna moralfilosofin. Den skotske filosofen David Ross skriver i inledningen till sin bok att syftet är att utforska naturen hos, relationerna mellan och implikationerna av etikens fundamentala begrepp, närmare bestämt "rätt" och "gott". Och än i dag, nästan 100 år senare, har den som tar moralfilosofi på allvar hjälp av hans noggranna diskussion. Förutom att Ross gediget analyserar de centrala begreppen argumenterar han för en lista över det som faktiskt är gott och önskvärt i sig, som dygd, kunskap och njutning. Dessutom klargör han vad det innebär att handlingar är riktiga, vad som faktiskt gör handlingar riktiga, och vilka våra centrala plikter är. Få böcker i moralfilosofi innehåller så mycket som denna moderna klassiker. David Ross (1877-1971) var professor filosofi i Oxford, ledamot i British Academy och översättare och redaktör för Aristoteles samlade verk.
