Radoslav Tsanoff's well regarded complete history of ethics. Tsanoff explores the foundations of the moral ideals of our civilization in Greco-Roman and Hebraic-Christian thought, and in the Medieval-Scholastic, Renaissance and Reformation periods. He surveys modern ethics to the time of the French Revolution, this part of the work consisting mainly of the interweaving of French and British schools. In the final part, entitled 'The Nineteenth Century and Ours,' the contribution of Kantian, Idealistic, Utilitarian, Evolutionary and Marxist thought is analyzed, together with chapters on the New England and American scene and on contemporary issues in ethical theory, involving pragmatism and value theory.
