Moral Phenomena

More about the book

Moral philosophy in the Western world has been significantly influenced by three main schools of thought: utilitarianism, which emphasizes the greatest good for the greatest number; Kantianism, focusing on duty and moral laws; and relativism, which argues that moral principles are not universal but culturally based. This exploration delves into how these frameworks have shaped ethical discussions and influenced societal norms since the nineteenth century, highlighting their implications for contemporary moral dilemmas.
