Product Description
With over 60,000 copies in print since its original publication in 1984, 'Ethics' has served numerous generations of students as a classic introduction to philosophical ethics from a Christian perspective.
Over the years the philosophical landscape has changed somewhat, and in this new edition Arthur Holmes adjusts the argument and information throughout, completely rewriting the earlier chapter on virtue ethics and adding a new chapter on the moral agent.
The book addresses the questions:
What is good?
What is right?
How can we know?
In doing so it also surveys a variety of approaches to ethics, including cultural relativism, emotivism, ethical egoism and utilitarianism - all with an acknowledgment of the new postmodern environment.

Ethics: Second edition
The suggestion on the back cover that the first edition of Holmes’s book is a ‘textbook for generations of students’ may be a trifle overblown. But with 60,000 copies sold, and two decades gone since first publication, there’s certainly a strong case for a revised edition. Like its predecessor, this volume offers general mapping of a variety of approaches to philosophical ethics, written from a Christian perspective, with updated material on virtue ethics and questions of agency. There are plenty of books like this around, but not many that cover so much ground with such brevity. And most ethicists would give a right arm – at least! – to have Holmes’s clarity of expression.
