More About the Author
Product Description
Review
'It is a book of superb spirit and style, more entertaining than a work of philosophy has any right to be.' - Times Literary Supplement
Product Description
Throughout our lives we are making moral choices. Some decisions simply direct our everyday comings and goings; others affect our individual destinies. How do we make those choices? Where does our sense of right and wrong come from, and how can we make more informed decisions? In clear, entertaining prose Mary Midgley takes us to the heart of the matter: the human experience that is central to all decision-making.

Format:Paperback
This is a great addition to Midgley's moral philosophy writing but as she states herself in the great introduction some of the essays are really meant for an academic audience, as a result they arent that accessible or engaging but instead are like the material which fills journals of point and counterpoint.
As in other more accessible reads like Beast and Man: The Roots of Human Nature (Routledge Classics) or Wickedness (Routledge Classics): A Philosophical Essay Midgley tries to steer a path through extremes of position, arguing against fundamentalists of most philosophical camps (in this instance specifically those which see individuals as mechanistically biological entities and those which see them as blank slates).
It is a good read, however, I wouldnt begin with this book if you are new to either Midgley or moral philosophy, Midgley writes very accessible moral philosophical books and has successfully popularised moral philosophy in other books.
