Virtues and Vices: and other essays in moral philosophy
Foot, Philippa (, Griffin Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at the University of California, Los Angeles, and an Honorary Fellow of Somerville College, Oxford)
This volume brings together essays published between 1957 and 1977, and includes two new ones. Foot argues explicitly for an ethic of virtue; discusses abortion, euthanasia, free will/determination, and the ethics of Hume and Nietzsche; and charts her growing disenchantment with emotivism and prescriptivism and their account of moral arguments.
