Get Started On Morality And Self-Interest Assembled By Paul Bloomfield Released As Paper Edition

is a fairly good introduction to the topic,

Like most edited volumes on a topic this book is not systematic, and many of the writers have a tendency to shoehorn in some tenuously related topics.
But it does do a fairly good job of mapping the semantic landscape, and probably in some sense benefits from having such varied perspectives on the matter.


There's a fair amount of interpretative texts, which goes some way to giving an account of how the ideas

evolved, T.
H. Irwin's account of the links from Augustine to Butler is particularly good in this respect,

Other highlights include Richard Joyce's intelligent account of how much of what is often taken to be morality is not strictly speaking morality, but probably the most important of all the essays is W.
D. Falk's. Falk does a very good job of gathering together the various different things that are meant by morality and tracing how the various idea overlap and where they diverge, this essay in particular is worth reading for anyone interested in theorising about morality on a general level.
Ever since "Know Thyself" was inscribed at Delphi, Western philosophers have struggled to understand the relations between morality and selfinterest.
This edited volume of essays pushes forward one of the oldest and most important debates in philosophy, Is morality a check on selfinterest or is it in one's self interest to be moral Can morality and selfinterest be understood independently of each other
