Its scope is grand and its reach broad, but the whole is grounded in a precise, analytical delineation of the essentials of ethics and unfolds into a masterful synthesis." -- Thomas Sheehan, Stanford University " Elements of Ethics is philosophical in the truest sense: it is not only rigorous and engaged in the language of western philsophy; it is good, just and beautiful." -- Philsophy in Review/Comptes rendus philosophiques |

| Publisher Description: This book is an unorthodox attempt at renewing the basic questions and principles of philosophical ethics. It focuses on the descriptive and conceptual analysis of the experiences through which human lives become aware of themselves as being provoked and urged to respond appropriately to the various dimensions and phenomena of the universe. |
