Sacrifice Regained: Morality and Self-Interest in British Moral Philosophy From Hobbes to Bentham
New York, NY, United States of America: Oxford University Press (2019)
Abstract
From Thomas Hobbes to Jeremy Bentham, 'British Moralists' have questioned whether being virtuous makes you happy. Roger Crisp elucidaties their views on happiness and virtue, self-interest and sacrifice, and well-being and morality, and highlights key themes such as psychological egoism, evaluative hedonism, and moral reason in their thought.Author's Profile
