Synopsis

Reading Parfit: On What Matters is an outstanding overview and assessment of Parfit's monumental work by a team of international contributors, and includes replies by Parfit himself. It discusses central features of Parfit's book, including the structure and nature of reasons; the ideas underlying moral principles; the relationship between consequentialism, contractualism and Kantian deontology; and many important positions and arguments in current metaethics such as expressivism and moral realism.
