Opis

Presenting a critique of moral theory from Kant onwards, the author, one of the greatest philosophers of his generation, reorients ethical theory towards 'truth, truthfulness and the meaning of an individual life'. He explores and reflects upon the most difficult problems in contemporary philosophy.
