    In this volume, some of today's most distinguished philosophers survey the whole field of ethics, from its origins, through the great ethical traditions, to theories of how we ought to live, arguments about specific ethical issues, and the nature of ethics itself. The book can be read straight through from beginning to end; yet the inclusion of a multi-layered index, coupled with a descriptive outline of contents and bibliographies of relevant literature, means that the volume also serves as a work (...)

  • Reason and morality.Alan Gewirth - 1978 - Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
    "Most modern philosophers attempt to solve the problem of morality from within the epistemological assumptions that define the dominant cultural perspective of our age. Alan Gewirth's Reason and Morality is a major work in this ongoing enterprise. Gewirth develops, with patience and skill, what he calls a 'modified naturalism' in which morality is derived by logic alone from the concept of action.... I think that the publication of Reason and Morality is a major event in the history of moral philosophy. (...)

  • The Dialectical Necessity of Morality: An Analysis and Defense of Alan Gewirth's Argument to the Principle of Generic Consistency.Deryck Beyleveld - 1991 - Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
    Alan Gewirth's _Reason and Morality_, in which he set forth the Principle of Generic Consistency, is a major work of modern ethical theory that, though much debated and highly respected, has yet to gain full acceptance. Deryck Beyleveld contends that this resistance stems from misunderstanding of the method and logical operations of Gewirth's central argument. In this book Beyleveld seeks to remedy this deficiency. His rigorous reconstruction of Gewirth's argument gives its various parts their most compelling formulation and clarifies its (...)

  • Dimensions of Dignity: The Moral Importance of Being Human.D. Egonsson - 1998 - Springer.
    Intended for philosophers with a general interest in moral philosophy or ethics, and more specifically axiological, animal and medical ethics. Examines the question of whether there is an inherent value in being human; critiques arguments both for and against what the author terms the "standard attitude" that there is such value. Applies these ideas to consideration of the taking of human life in such cases as abortion and euthanasia among others. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

  • [Book review] the community of rights. [REVIEW]George Rainbolt - 1999 - Business Ethics Quarterly 9 (2):361-375.
    Alan Gewirth extends his fundamental principle of equal and universal human rights, the Principle of Generic Consistency, into the arena of social and political philosophy, exploring its implications for both social and economic rights. He argues that the ethical requirements logically imposed on individual action hold equally for the supportive state as a community of rights, whose chief function is to maintain and promote the universal human rights to freedom and well-being. Such social afflictions as unemployment, homelessness, and poverty are (...)
