This particularly interesting book by J. Mackie is a comprehensive and clear examination of moral theory. His views on normative ethics—the moral principles he proposes—offer a new approach to a long-neglected issue, and the work as a whole undoubtedly constitutes a significant contribution to contemporary philosophy.
Throughout the work, the author's aim is to discuss a wide range of questions, both philosophical and practical, using a particular version of subjectivism—a theory of 'illusion' concerning the apparent objectivity of values.
J. Mackie draws ideas and arguments from the contributions of classical thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Hume, Kant, and Sidgwick, as well as from more recent discussions, to provide an analysis that will provoke much thought and inspire both the general reader and the student of philosophy.
