Well-Being and Morality

'This is a handsome tribute volume: it bears witness to the stimulating effect that James Griffin's work has had over a wide area of moral philosophy, and extends the dialogue between that work and other major contributors to the field in a very valuable way.' -Australasian Journal of Philosophy 'Fourteen new essays by a strong line-up of moral philosophers on themes from the work of James Griffin... The work here is a model of robust but respectful philosophical exchange, and the overall standard is very high... The highlight of the volume is an outstanding paper by Peter Railton on the relation between taste and value.' -Australasian Journal of Philosophy 'The contributors are distinguished and the quality of the papers is universally high.' -Robert Sugden, The Times Higher Education SupplementAn international line-up of fourteen distinguished philosophers present new essays on topics relating to well-being and morality, prominent themes in contemporary ethics and particularly in the work of James Griffin, White's Professor of Moral Philosophy at Oxford, in whose honour this volume has been produced. Professor Griffin offers a fascinating development of his own thinking on these topics in his replies to the essays.
