Description: On What Matters is a major work in moral philosophy. It is the long - awaited follow - up to Derek Parfit's 1984 book Reasons and Persons 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. On What Matters 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.
