書籍簡介

《論重要之事》是英國哲學家德里克帕菲特於2011年出版的哲學著作，在內容和地位上均繼承了1984年的《理與人》，成為哲學界的當代核心，紐約大學哲學教授塞繆爾謝弗勒作序。

帕菲特重新探討了當今重要的三種規範倫理學理論（後果主義、康德式義務論和斯坎倫的契約論），認為這三種理論之所以表現得水火不容，實際上是緣於錯誤的主觀主義。一旦消除三種理論之中的主觀主義成分，做出合理的重構，那麼它們是趨同的。《論重要之事》通過論證證明存在客觀理由或價值，而否認這一點則會導致道德虛無主義。

On What Matters is a major work in moral philosophy. It is the long-awaited follow-up to Derek Parfit's 1984 book Reasons and Persons, one of the landmarks of twentieth-century philosophy. Parfit now presents a powerful new treatment of reasons, rationality, and normativity, and a critical examination of three systematic moral theories - Kant's ethics, contractualism, and consequentialism - leading to his own ground-breaking synthetic conclusion. Along the way he discusses a wide range of moral issues, such as the significance of consent, treating people as a means rather than an end, and free will and responsibility. On What Matters is already the most-discussed work in moral philosophy: its publication is likely to establi*h it as a modern classic which everyone working on moral philosophy will have to read, and which many others will turn to for stimulation and illumination.
