Moral Philosophy Fundamental Concepts

This book has been written to excite its readers about the value and beauty of moral philosophy: ethics. While its primary purpose is to serve as an introduction to the science of moral philosophy, the fundamental aim of the book is to excite readers in a subject that is not an intellectual luxury but an essential ingredient to our lives.

The book does not contain ready-made answers to the pressing moral problems of our times. What it wants to achieve is to familiarize its readers with the fundamental ethical concepts that they need in order to tackle those problems on their own and take a well-founded standpoint.

Dr. Christian Erk has studied business economics as well as political theory at the University of St.Gallen, the Copenhagen Business School and the London School of Economics. Having completed his PhD in political philosophy at the University of Zurich, he has held an assistant professorship for management and ethics at the University of St.Gallen.
