Parfit: A Philosopher and His Mission to Save Morality
Princeton University Press
Princeton University Press is a leading independent publisher of trade and scholarly books by the world's experts.
Derek Parfit (1942–2017) is the most famous philosopher most people have never heard of. Widely regarded as one of the greatest moral thinkers of the past hundred years, Parfit was anything but a public intellectual. Yet his ideas have shaped the way philosophers think about things that affect us all: equality, altruism, what we owe to future generations, and even what it means to be a person. In?Parfit, David Edmonds presents the first biography of an intriguing, obsessive, and eccentric genius.
