Plural and Conflicting Values (Clarendon Paperbacks)

Plural and Conflicting Values (Clarendon Paperbacks) by Stocker, Michael. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780198240556.

Plural and conflicting values are often held to be conceptually problematic, threatening the very possibility of ethics, or at least rational ethics. Rejecting this view, Stocker first demonstrates why it is so important to understand the issues raised by plural and conflicting values, focusing on Aristotles treatment of them. He then shows that plurality and conflict are commonplace and generally unproblematic features of our everyday choice and action, and that they do allow for a sound and rational ethics.
