Fundamentals of Ethics: An Introduction to Moral Philosophy is a comprehensive examination of the principles and theories that underpin human conduct and moral judgment. Written by Wilbur Marshall Urban, a significant figure in American philosophy and value theory, this work serves as a systematic introduction to the field of ethics, balancing historical context with rigorous analytical inquiry. The text investigates the nature of value, the distinction between right and wrong, and the various schools of thought-from hedonism and utilitarianism to idealism-that have shaped ethical discourse.

Urban's approach is particularly noted for its focus on axiology, placing the concept of value at the center of moral problems. By exploring the relationship between ethics and other philosophical disciplines such as metaphysics and psychology, the book provides a holistic view of how moral standards are developed and applied. Fundamentals of Ethics remains a foundational resource for those seeking to understand the essential questions of the good life and the philosophical basis of duty and virtue.
