Twentieth Century Ethics by David Solomon, Ph.D: 10. Anti-Theory

Recorded in 2004. This course is intended to be a general introduction to the main topics and the most significant developments in 20th-century ethics. Several of the figures discussed in these lectures, notably Elizabeth Anscombe and Alasdair MacIntyre, are among the most important Catholic philosophers in the century. This course focuses on Analytic, Anglophone ethics which had dominated moral philosophy in the universities of the U.S. and the U.K. for most of the century. There is a clear point of origination of this tradition in G. E. Moore’s Principia Ethica, published in 1903, and a clear line of development within this tradition to the present day.
