"""Communitarian Ethics is a work of profound depth and importance. John Charvet argues that ethical duties cannot coherently arise from a claim of the inherent value of individuals. Instead, he argues for an understanding of ethics as the product of ethical communities. Combining moral and political philosophy, the book examines the substantive content of the communitarian view of ethics in modern industrial states, in the relations between states, and the implications in both cases for the political structures required. Written in clear and accessible prose, Communitarian Ethics offers a significant challenge to, and reconstruction of, our understanding of ethics."" - Matt Matravers, Professor of Law, University of York, UK."
