- Summary:
- Derek Parfit, who died in 2017, is widely believed to have been the most significant moral philosopher in well over a century. The 21 new essays in this book have all been inspired by his work. They address issues with which he was concerned in his writing, particularly in his seminal contribution to moral philosophy, 'Reasons and Persons' (1984). Rather than simply commenting on his work, these essays attempt to make further progress with issues, both moral and prudential, that Parfit believed matter to our lives: issues concerned with how we ought to live, and what we have most reason to do.
