An Enquiry into Moral Notions /

An Enquiry into Moral Notions / / John Laird.

Compares and examines what John Laird termed the 'three most important notions in ethical science': the concepts of virtue, duty and well-being. Poses the question of whether any one of these three concepts is capable of being the foundation of ethics and of supporting the other two.
