书籍简介

《论重要之事》是英国哲学家德里克帕菲特于2011年出版的哲学著作，在内容和地位上均继承了1984年的《理与人》，成为哲学界的当代核心，纽约大学哲学教授塞缪尔谢弗勒作序。

帕菲特重新探讨了当今重要的三种规范伦理学理论（后果主义、康德式义务论和斯坎伦的契约论），认为这三种理论之所以表现得水火不容，实际上是缘于错误的主观主义。一旦消除三种理论之中的主观主义成分，做出合理的重构，那么它们是趋同的。《论重要之事》通过论证证明存在客观理由或价值，而否认这一点则会导致道德虚无主义。

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.
