| Summary: | Based on a 1992 conference in Germany, 33 philosophers dissect the concept and roles of desires in rational decision making, welfare, prudence, moral philosophy, ethics, metaethics, and deontic (moral judgment) logic. They also venture into the thorny area of possible preferences in regard to life and death issues. A number of the original papers are in response to those of other contributors. Includes abstracts, an introduction, and categorized bibliography for nonspecialists as well as devotees. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) |
