ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Ethics: A Very Short Introduction by Simon Blackburn delves into the core anxieties surrounding ethical claims, particularly the worry that they might be baseless. The book navigates various challenges to ethics, questioning whether morality is undermined by ideas like the decline of religious authority or the notion that all values are simply relative. It explores different approaches to ethical thinking, examining concepts such as happiness, duty, and justice. Ultimately, the text grapples with the fundamental justifications for our moral beliefs and their place in human understanding.
