Roma: Carocci, 2007, 336 pages (in Italian). This new book of Sergio Cremaschi, who served as president of the International Association for the Study of Controversies, tells the story of modern ethics, namely the story of a discussion which, after two centuries of truce, or warlike coexistence between more than one paradigm went through a methodological revolution that gave birth to Grotius's and Pufendorf's new science of natural law, leaving room for two centuries of explorations of the possible developments and implications of this new paradigm, up to the crisis of the Eighties in the eighteenth century, a crisis that carried a kind of mitosis, the act of birth of both basic paradigms of the two following centuries: Kantian ethics and utilitarianism.
