Thick Evaluation

Discover the thought-provoking exploration of moral philosophy in "Thick Evaluation" by Simon Kirchin, published by Oxford University Press in 2017. This compelling hardback edition spans 212 pages and delves into the intricate distinction between thin and thick concepts—key elements in understanding our ethical framework. While terms like 'good' and 'bad' are labeled as thin concepts, Kirchin argues that thick concepts such as 'kind' and 'cruel' possess richer evaluations, influencing debates across ethics, aesthetics, and epistemology. This first full-length study on the subject offers valuable insights for students, philosophers, and anyone interested in deepening their understanding of moral evaluations.
