Special emphasis is given throughout the text to those historical figures who have had the most influence on recent analytical moral philosophy, including Aristotle, Hobbes, Butler, Hume, Kant and Mill. Of particular interest to those who may consider using this text in their classes is the division of each chapter into concise segments that focus on each philosopher's key concepts, the attempt to include the latest scholarship, and the helpful list of recommended readings.\" \u003ci\u003eDoug Carriker\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"\u003c\/i\u003eProfessor Arrington has written a concise and wonderfully understandable introduction to the history of moral philosophy in the West up to the twentieth century.
