Summary
Details

Moral Dilemmas is the second volume of collected essays by the eminent moral philosopher Philippa Foot.

It fills the gap between her famous 1978 collection Virtues and Vices (now reissued) and her acclaimed monograph Natural Goodness, published in 2001.

Moral Dilemmas presents the best of Professor Foot's work from the late 1970s to the 1990s.

In these essays she develops further her influential critique of the 'non-cognitivist' approaches that have dominated moral philosophy over the last fifty years.

She shows why it is a mistake to think of morality in terms of special psychological states, expressed in special kinds of judgement and a special 'moral' kind of language.

Instead she portrays thoughts about the goodness of human will and action as a particular case of the evaluation of other operations of human beings, and indeed of all living things.

Among other topics, she discusses the nature of moral judgement, practical rationality, and the conflict of virtue with desire and self-interest.

Moral Dilemmas, alongside Professor Foot's other two books, completes the summation of her distinctive and lasting contribution to twentieth-century moral philosophy.
