Ethics Done Right

Elijah Millgram argues that the best route into ethical and moral theory runs through the general study of how people make decisions. Drawing on the broader question of practical reasoning, he suggests that moral philosophy should be approached as one application of a wider method for choosing well.

The chapters in this volume develop that method and follow how two types of theory relate across several traditions: utilitarianism, Kantian ethics, virtue ethics, the moral philosophy of David Hume, and moral particularism. Readers interested in how these schools connect at the level of reasoning will find the case built carefully across the collection.

Millgram does not champion a single moral theory. Instead, he presents an approach meant to help readers reason through ethical questions and reach their own conclusions.
