Beschreibung:
Peter A. French holds the Cole Chair in Ethics and is professor of philosophy at the University of South Florida. He is the cofounder and senior editor of Midwest Studies in Philosophy and editor of The Journal of Social Philosophy.
Peter French examines the world of the western, one in which death is annihilation, the culmination of life, and there is nothing else. In that world he finds alternatives to Judeo-Christian traditions that dominate our ethical theories, alternatives that also attack the views of the most prominent ethicists of the past three centuries.
