Overview
Written during philosophy’s transition into a professional discipline, this introduction looks at the foundations of ethics as a science. Professor John H. Muirhead begins with basic questions about why philosophy must exist, if it can be a science, and whether it can be said to progress. He surveys historical views on the purpose of philosophy, including hedonism, self-mastery, and advancing the common good. The Elements of Ethics is an elegant introduction to philosophy’s use as a social tool.
