  abstract: What is the human good? What makes an action right? How can we know what is good or right? Is morality a matter of virtues or consequences? Can morality be rationally justified? 'Ethics Through History' tells the story of how great philosophers have tried to answer the key questions of moral thought, from Socrates to the 20th century.
