Features: This book focuses on the ethical thought of Spinoza, Butler, Hume, Kant, Sidgwick, and others. Unlike most histories of ethics, this book does not study the works of these ethicists from a historical or philosophical perspective. Instead, it discusses which views are correct and which are wrong, aiming to develop a new approach to ethics. Therefore, after discussing the ideas of these ethicists, the author presents their own insights on some major ethical issues—such as the analysis of ethical characteristics, epistemological problems, the problem of will and motivation, and the problem of emotions. These insights reflect the author's inclination toward deontological intuitionism.
