Book Description:

Presents an interpretation and defence of Philippa Foot's ethical naturalism. Moral virtues understood as perfections of human powers are central to Foot's account of ethical judgment. The thrust of the interpretation offered here is that Foot's metaethics takes ethical judgment to be tied to our self-understanding as a sort of rational animal.
