Overview

"Bernard Gert's moral theory is among the most comprehensive on the contemporary scene. It touches on elements of the dominant ethical orientations - utilitarianism, Kantianism, contractionism and virtue ethics - without fitting neatly into any of those categories. For that reason, Gert's moral theory appeals to many ethicists who are dissatisfied with each of the dominant formulations. This text presents Gert's ""Morality"", the reactions of a number of prominent scholars, and Gert's response. It is broken down into six parts, and should be useful for a broad-ranging course on ethical theory, following Gert's critiques of utilitarianism, Kantianism, and virtue ethics. The papers contribute not only to the understanding of Gert's theory but also to a number of important topics in ethic theory, the theory of rationality, and applied ethics."
