ISBN: 9780199572816.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn What Matters is a major work in moral philosophy. It is the long-awaited follow-up to Derek Parfits 1984 book Reasons and Persons, one of the landmarks of twentieth-century philosophy. In this first volume Parfit presents a powerful new treatment of reasons and rationality, and a critical examination of three systematic moral theories -- Kants ethics, contractualism, and consequentialism -- leading to his own ground-breaking synthetic conclusion. Along the way he discusses a wide range of moral issues, such as the significance of consent, treating people as a means rather than an end, and free will and responsibility. On What Matters is already the most-discussed work in moral philosophy: its publication is likely to establish it as a modern classic which everyone working on moral philosophy will have to read, and which many others will turn to for stimulation and illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952153817141,"sku":"ByrdShop_019957281X","price":55.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199572816_d7a9cafe-9a22-4566-93fc-fbe3f6f0f530.jpg?v=1781345849","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/on-what-matters-vol-2-9780199572816","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
