It is the long-awaited follow-up to Derek Parfit's 1984 book \u003cem\u003eReasons and Persons\u003c\/em\u003e, one of the landmarks of twentieth-century philosophy. In this first volume Parfit presents a powerful new treatment of reasons and rationality, and a critical examination of three systematic moral theories -- Kant's ethics, contractualism, and consequentialism -- leading to his own ground-breaking synthetic conclusion. Along the way he discusses a wide range of moral issues, such as the significance of consent, treating people as a means rather than an end, and free will and responsibility. \u003cem\u003eOn What Matters\u003c\/em\u003e is already the most-discussed work in moral philosophy: its publication is likely to establish it as a modern classic which everyone working on moral philosophy will have to read, and which many others will turn to for stimulation and illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47600761766039,"sku":"9780199572816","price":7002.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199572816.webp?v=1775009813","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/on-what-matters-volume-two-9780199572816","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
