Description
Summary:"This volume presents a series of lectures given by P. F. Strawson to final-year undergraduates at the University of Wales, Bangor, in the autumn term of 1946. The manuscript of these lectures survives and is preserved in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. The lectures contain the germ of Strawson's developed thought on freedom, moral attitudes, and ethical ideals, with an unusual level of attention being paid to contemporary psychological research. Other topics covered include the contrast between consequentialist and other moral theories, the analysis of moral judgements, and the nature of moral obligation"--Publisher's description.
