Action and Character: An Introduction to Moral Philosophy is a basic introduction to some of the central themes in contemporary moral philosophy; it is designed to provide beginning students and general readers in moral philosophy with a foundational understanding of the range and complexity of issues that emerge when we reflect on the nature of the moral life. Is morality relative or objective? Are human beings selfish by nature? Should we always act exclusively in our own interest? What is good for us and what should we value? Should we act only to bring about good consequences for the greatest number or do we have a moral obligation to perform certain acts irrespective of their consequences? What is it to be a good person and to lead a good life? Through an examination of such questions, the book introduces and critically evaluates various theories of morality and the moral life: moral relativism, egoism, hedonism, utilitarianism, duty ethics, and virtue theory. Written in a lively tone and with purposefully concise chapters, Action and Character can be used in conjunction with primary source readings or as a stand-alone text to foster classroom discussion and critical thinking about morality. Key terms are highlighted and defined in the text and each chapter contains study questions, questions for reflection designed to prompt deeper thinking about the issues, and suggestions for further reading.
