Essays in Ethical Theory

by R M Hare

Published 1 June 1989
This volume contains a collection of R.M.Hare's essays which fill in the theoretical background of his thought. Each essay is self-contained, but together they give a connected picture of his views on such questions as the objectivity and rationality of moral thinking, the issue between the ethical realists and their opponents, the place in our moral thought of appeals to common convictions and how to tell whether a feature of a situation is morally relevant.
