It is the long-awaited follow-up to Derek Parfit's 1984 book \u003cem\u003eReasons and Persons\u003c\/em\u003e, one of the landmarks of twentieth-century philosophy. In this first volume Parfit presents a powerful new treatment of reasons and rationality, and a critical examination of three systematic moral theories -- Kant's ethics, contractualism, and consequentialism -- leading to his own ground-breaking synthetic conclusion. Along the way he discusses a wide range of moral issues, such as the significance of consent, treating people as a means rather than an end, and free will and responsibility. \u003cem\u003eOn What Matters\u003c\/em\u003e is already the most-discussed work in moral philosophy: its publication is likely to establish it as a modern classic which everyone working on moral philosophy will have to read, and which many others will turn to for stimulation and illumination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Derek Parfit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199572801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199572809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 1.90d","brand":"Derek Parfit","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43914277847295,"sku":"9780199572809","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f25cb00c-e08b-44f5-833b-b1532ba3d226.jpg?v=1680641373","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-what-matters-derek-parfit-9780199572809","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
