Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Ethics Done Right
Elijah Millgram · 2005
74/100
👍 Worth It
Millgram's project is a genuinely interesting one — digging into the practical-reason assumptions buried inside utilitarian, Kantian, and Humean ethics and showing how those assumptions drive the theories' weaknesses. The prose is accessible for academic philosophy and the Hume chapter is recognized as a real scholarly contribution. This is specialist academic reading, but within that world it's engaging and illuminating.
