"This is a well-conceived collection, sensitive both to the
history of the subject and to its more practical consequences. It
is highly suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate
teaching. Nobody does this sort of thing better than Stephen
Darwall." Jonathan Dancy, University of Reading


"Working out an approach to teaching deontology has
traditionally been a process of making costly choices. It is a
singular virtue of Darwall's thoughtful collection of readings that
by including classical readings as well contemporary discussions,
general rationales as well as specific cases, it frees us from the
need to make these choices." Paul Hurley, Pomona
College

"In this book we have an excellent investigation of
anti-consequentialist discourse through a very appropriate
selection of essays effecting an imaginative and profound expansion
of deontology. It will prove to be a valuable collection for all
academics and students ..." Dr Marianna Papastephanou

"... in this book we have an excellent inverstigation of
anti-consequentialist discourse through a very appropriate
selection of essays effecting an imaginative and profound expansion
of deontology. It will prove to be a valuable collection for all
academics and students who are interested in current debates over
moral duty, responsibility and their limits." Marianna
Papastephanou, University of Cyprus
