Biography
Benjamin Sachs is a lecturer in philosophy at the University of St. Andrews. He has written on topics in normative ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of law, animal ethics, and coercion. He has papers in journals including Philosophical Studies and The Australasian Journal of Philosophy.
"This book contains several original arguments and thought-provoking ideas. The primary argument about moral theorizing as an explanatory endeavour binds moral theory, normative ethics, and applied ethics into a unique argumentative field that paves the way for many important, distinct, and novel insights that the author discusses. All this opens new ground for future debates in the field." --Vojko Strahovnik, University of Ljubljana
