Moral Dilemmas by Christopher W Gowans
The essays in this volume illuminate a central topic in ethical theory: moral dilemmas. Some contemporary philosophers dispute the traditional view that a true moral dilemma - a situation in which a person has two irreconcilable moral duties - cannot exist. The book provides the historical background to the on-going debate with selections from Kant, Mill, Bradley, and Ross. The best recent work is represented in essays by Donagan, Foot, Hare, Marcus, Nagel, van Fraassen, Williams, and others.
A superb anthology...The selections, enhanced by substantial editorial contributions, have the clarity and organization required for a course text as well as the scope and depth to be a resource for anyone interested in the debate or its implications for either ethical theory or contemporary ethical problems. * Nous *
