H. A. Prichard argues with characteristic precision that the central question of moral philosophy — why we ought to do what we ought to do — rests on a fundamental mistake, insisting instead that moral obligations are self-evident and irreducible to any further justification. The collection gathers some of his most influential essays and lectures, including the seminal Does Moral Philosophy Rest on a Mistake?, which challenged utilitarian and Kantian frameworks alike and helped establish the school of thought known as moral intuitionism. Written in a clear, analytical style that is both demanding and intellectually rewarding, the work illustrates Prichard's conviction that moral knowledge is direct and non-inferential, setting it apart from consequentialist accounts that ground duty in outcomes or desires. This essential volume remains a touchstone for students and scholars of deontological ethics and the history of analytic moral philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887923966171,"sku":"2026200007945-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c920f09b-d555-4311-8185-a6e95febc28a.png?v=1781749477","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007945-secondhand-moral-obligation-essays-and-lectures","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
