John Kekes

Recenzje

This book poses questions of ethics, broadly-construed, but they involve metaphysics (for example, duties to God, questions about the origins of evil, whether the cosmos is just) and epistemology. John Kekess focus is on reasons for different answers to each question. He writes with such sympathy and wisdom that readers can see both sides, with two opposing answers to each question often as good for the person or group that holds them. This is a well-written and smart book, and the reader will know herself in the hands of a learned and thoughtful guide.
