Three lectures recorded from a recent series
3: Ethics and Language by G. J. WARNOCK
Lecturer in Philosophy University of Oxford
What is uniquely characteristic of moral discourse? Philosophers during the last hundred years have put forward various answers.

Today, sadder and perhaps a little wiser, we are back with J. S. Mill 's question ' concerning the foundation of morality.'
