W. D. Ross's seminal work, The Right And The Good, presents a foundational argument in moral philosophy, challenging utilitarian and ideal utilitarian perspectives. This influential text establishes a system of ethics centered on prima facie duties, asserting that certain moral obligations are self-evident and inherently binding. Ross meticulously analyzes the concepts of rightness and goodness, distinguishing between them and arguing for the irreducible nature of moral principles. The book chronicles a rigorous defense of intuitionism, illustrating how moral agents apprehend these duties directly. It offers a profound and enduring contribution to deontological thought, shaping subsequent discussions in ethical theory.
