Why Is Bernard Gert Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Bernard Gert was a moral philosopher known primarily for his work in normative ethics, as well as in medical ethics, especially pertaining to psychology. His work has been called "among the clearest and most comprehensive on the contemporary scene", "far more detailed and more concretely worked out" and "systematic" than competing comprehensive ethical theories. Because it avoids pitfalls associated with other dominant ethical theoretical approaches , Gert's moral theory "provides what many people are looking for".
