Critical Ethics: Text, Theory and Responsibility

by Dominic Rainsford (Editor), Tim Woods (Editor)

Steven Connor's acknowledgement of the dominance of this new term points to the recent lively and vigorous debate, indicating the extent to which the humanities are urgently reassessing issues of moral responsibility, ethical action, and political utilitarianism within the context of recent postmodern and post structuralist philosophical interventions. The book will serve three main purposes: as an introduction to a range of philosophical and ethical theories; as an overview and guide to the more sophisticated ethical problems and issues, and; as a series of original interventions in the humanist and anti-humanist debates.
