"Derek Parfit (1942-2017) is widely considered to be one of the most important moral
philosophers of the Twentieth Century. Reasons and Persons is arguably the most influential
of the two books published in his lifetime and hailed as a classic work of ethics
and personal identity. Derek Parfit's Reasons and Persons: An Introduction and Critical
Inquiry is an outstanding introduction to and assessment of Parfit's book, with chapters
by leading scholars of ethics, metaphysics and of Parfit's work. Part One provides
a much-needed introduction to key topics and themes in Reasons and Persons that will
be useful for those new to Parfit's complex work. These include Parfit's idea of self-defeating
theories, rationality and time, personal identity, future generations, and well-being.
Part Two explores various debates generated by Reasons and Persons, including its
connections with Buddhism, metaethics, theory of rationality, transformative choices
and further developments in personal identity and metaphysics such as conativism.
Combining clear exposition of the major topics and arguments in Reasons and Persons
with scholarly perspectives on more advanced themes, this book is ideal for students
of ethics, metaethics, metaphysics and anyone interested in Derek Parfit's philosophy"
