His is a serious look at what′s gone wrong in recent moral philosophy and at how we ought to recast our theories. As such it offers no feel good John Lennon ′Imagine′ type view of the changed world. What it does instead is to remind us of a strangely misplaced aim to morality, that of living the good life, of simply being or trying to be a good and whole person....This is a book that throws a new light in a new direction on an old subject and as such should be widely read by both those in the business of philosophy and, perhaps equally importantly, by those outside the academic circles."

"Moral Theory ... provides a welcome alternative to current debates dominated by the consequentialist approach" CHOICE
Moral Theory, and its companion volume Applied Ethics, provide a much–needed alternative to consequentialist orthodoxy. Moral Theory sets out the basic system used to solve moral problems, the system that consequentialists deride as ′traditional morality′ and which they believe is ′dead′. The central concepts, principles and distinctions of traditional morality are explained and defended: rights; justice; the good; virtue; the intention/foresight distinction; the acts/omissions distinction; and, centrally, the fundamental value of human life.
By challenging contemporary thinking, Moral Theory and Applied Ethics make a distinctive and provocative contribution to current debate, which will be useful both to undergraduates and professional philosophers.
