A clear survey of how ethical thought evolved from ancient to modern times, with key thinkers guiding the conversation.
This edition traces the development of ethical systems, from Pre-Socratic reflections to the complex moral ideas of Leibniz, Spinoza, Kant, and beyond. It situates major shifts in ethics within their historical contexts, showing how views on virtue, duty, and the good were shaped by metaphysics, religion, and social theory. The book emphasizes how early questions gave rise to long-running debates about moral knowledge, the role of reason, and the balance between individual and communal goods.

- Explore how Leibniz’s perfectionism and Wolff’s systematization influenced later moral philosophy.
