The Right and the Good, a classic of twentieth-century philosophy by
the eminent scholar Sir David Ross, is now presented in a new edition
with a substantial introduction by Philip Stratton-Lake, a leading
expert on Ross. Ross's book is the pinnacle of ethical intuitionism,
which was the dominant moral theory in British philosophy for much of
the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Intuitionism is now enjoying
a considerable revival, and Stratton-Lake provides the context for a
proper understanding of Ross's great work today.
