Duty or pleasure? This was the legendary choice that Hercules faced and that preeminent philosopher A. C. Grayling uses as the starting point of his discussion that reveals how much more people can understand about themselves and their world by reflecting on today's moral challenges. Above all, he explores the idea that certain demands and certain pleasures are necessary, not just because of their intrinsic merits but because of what they do for each other. The Good Life or the good life? With exceptional clarity and unrivaled prose, Grayling addresses the everyday ethical choices that confront us all.
