Allgemeine Ethik

The seventh edition of this introduction to general ethics explains this field's key terms, presents its most important basic positions, discusses them critically and encourages the reader to engage with the subject. With its strictly systematic approach, the book focuses on the problem of justification and on the metaethical presuppositions of philosophical ethics. The role of philosophical ethics in social debates and in interdisciplinary discourse is discussed in the chapter on the scope and limits of general ethics, which appears for the first time in this edition. The book is thus aimed at students of philosophy and of fields in the social sciences and humanities that are related to it.
