This third volume of Lewis' papers is devoted to his work in ethics and social philosophy. Topics covered include the logic of obligation and permission; decision theory and its relation to the idea that beliefs might play the motivating role of desires; a subjectivist analysis of value; dilemmas in virtue ethics; the problem of evil; problems about self-prediction; social coordination, linguistic and otherwise; alleged duties to rescue distant strangers; toleration as a tacit treaty; nuclear warfare; and punishment. The purpose of this collection, and the two preceding volumes, is to disseminate more widely the work of an eminent and influential contemporary philosopher. 1700521582490 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 170 Lew p E07004687 Non Fiction 170 Lew p 61Bln2EeZVL._SL1360_.jpg 46356 2014-12-09 10:16:07 2024-10-08 17:39:26 machine generated
