This scholarly work traces the evolution of moral thought from ancient Greek philosophy through to the modern era. Rogers examines the foundational contributions of thinkers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, exploring how their definitions of virtue and the good life shaped Western civilization. The text progresses through the Hellenistic schools, the rationalism of the Enlightenment, and the utilitarian movements of the 19th century.By analyzing the logic and human motivations behind diverse ethical systems-including the works of Spinoza, Kant, and John Stuart Mill-Rogers provides a critical overview of how humanity has conceptualized duty, happiness, and social conduct. "Morals in Review" serves as an essential resource for students of philosophy and anyone interested in the intellectual history of moral values.
