Morality Reconstructed Conclusion: The Claims in Summary Michael Tomasello and Philip Pettit: An Exchange Michael Tomasello & Philip Pettit Commentary on Philip Pettit's The Birth of Ethics Michael Tomasello Reply to Michael Tomasello's Commentary Philip Pettit References IndexReviewsThe book is conceptually rich. Any moral philosopher will find much to ponder here ... Pettit is here trying out a novel, multifaceted, and systematic approach to ethics, from which moral philosophers, whether or not they are ultimately persuaded, will have much to learn. * David Phillips, Notre Dame Philosophical Review * A very interesting, stimulating and thought-provoking account of the possible origins of morality. * Harry Witzthum, Metapsychology * Pettit contends that morality is essential for human self-realization as persons. In this regard, his own speculation about the genealogy of morals is markedly different from a long line of philosophical speculations about the origin or morals traceable to Plato and routed through standard relativistic and conventionalist theories ... Recommended. * C. S. Johnson, CHOICE * The Bith of Ethics is a remarkably ambitious and innovative work by one of Australia's most eminent philosophers...: The ultimate success of a book that seeks to change the methods of moral philosophy can only be judged many years after publication. The Birth of Ethics aims to clear a tenable path that leads away from moral scepticism, and for that reason, I believe, it deserves attention. * David Neil, Australian Book Review * The Birth of Ethics is a magesterial contribution to the study of language and morality. * Alex Miller, International Journal of Philosophical Studies * Author InformationPhilip Pettit is Laurence Rockefeller University Professor of Politics and Human Values at Princeton University.
