Value, Morality & Social Reality: Essays dedicated to Dan Egonsson, Björn Petersson & Toni Rønnow-Rasmussen
Synopsis
Dan Egonsson, Björn Petersson, and Toni Rønnow-Rasmussen have been instrumental in shaping the Swedish philosophical community over the last thirty years, particularly in the field of ethics. Through their research, teaching, and guidance of the next generation of philosophers, they have made invaluable contributions to the Department of Philosophy at Lund University. This festschrift, which celebrates their upcoming 67th birthdays and their retirement from active teaching, includes thirty-two papers from as many philosophers, all of whom have been influenced by the work of Egonsson, Petersson, and Rønnow-Rasmussen. The papers touch on themes from practical philosophy that are reflected in the title of the festschrift: "Value, Morality & Social Reality." Topics covered include harm, aesthetics, final value, human dignity, social ontology, instrumental value, moral responsibility, and more. We are grateful to the contributors and reviewers who have helped us put this festschrift together, and we hope that it will serve as a fitting tribute to the important work of these three important philosophers.
