Is Morality an Adventure?

Abstract

This text presents in a descriptive and critical way the contributions by significant Spanish university professors of moral philosophy that are included in the voluminous book The Adventure of Morality, published by UNED professors Carlos Gómez and Javier Muguerza. Despite its length and high-level in some chapters, this collective book can be considered a useful manual for teachers and students. The present critical note seeks to highlight the most valuable aspect of each philosophical contribution. Some chapters are shown to be descriptive and narrative, whereas others are more reflective and contain original proposals that this paper explores in detail. Lt is an excellent book that deserves to become an obligatory reference for those of us who work in the fleld of moral philosophy in Spanish language.
