The Renewal of Ethics in COntemporary Thought
Herausgeber: Marchitello, Howard

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

While the questions of ethics have become increasingly important in recent years for many fields within the humanities, there has been no single volume that seeks to address the emergence of this concern with ethics across the disciplinary spectrum. Given this lack in currently available critical and secondary texts, and also the urgency of the issues addressed by the critics assembled here, the time is right for a collection of this nature.
