 Aesthetics
and Ethics : Essays at the Intersection (Cambridge Studies in
Philosophy and the Arts) by Jerrold Levinson
(Editor).
This major collection of new essays stands at
the border of aesthetics and ethics and deals with charged
issues of practical import: art and morality, the ethics of
taste, censorship. Prominent philosophers in both aesthetics and
ethics tackle a wide array of issues. As such its potential
interest is by no means confined to professional philosophers;
it should also appeal to art historians and critics, literary
theorists, and students of film...

Essay by Ted Honderich
Abstract:
(1) Non-Consequentialism and Consequentialism are best
identified ostensively, by giving two groups of reasons for the rightness
of actions. Concentration on Utilitarianism distorts understanding of the
second group. (2) Traditional causal conceptions of the two groups are
inadequate and unenlightening. Conceptions are inadequate if they do not
cover all the reasons of only one group. They are unenlightening if they
do not convey the supposed general recommendation of each group of
reasons. (3) Reasons of the second group are in fact best understood in
terms of the satisfaction and frustration of desires, and giving a strict
priority to reducing frustration. They come from moralities of concern.
Reasons of the first group either do not have to do with satisfaction and
frustration at all, or do not give a strict priority to reducing
frustration. (4) Reasons of the first group, including agent-relative
reasons, cannot be defended by collapsing the question of right action
into that of the goodness of an agent. (5) Reasons of the first group, if
taken as not involving satisfaction and frustration at all, are in fact
not reasons for action and hence not reasons for the rightness of action.
(6) Reasons of this group, if taken as involving satisfaction and
frustration, face a judgment of selfishness.

The essays at this site range from the fully annotated and
technical to more informal and discursive discussions, often written for undergraduate
classes. Many items therefore should be intelligible to those not familiar with all the
arcana of academic philosophy. Such a range of submissions is acceptable and desired,
since the trend, by which academic philosophy has obscured and esotericized itself, and
mostly dropped out of popular and literate culture, should be resisted. The
