What is goodness? Is goodness achievable, and if so, how? If being
a good person is a matter of doing the right thing, then what is
the right thing to do? Is it acting rationally, promoting
happiness, exercising moderation in all things or respecting the
freedom of others, or is it somehow a concoction of all these
abilities, wisely adjusted to suit circumstances? In this
instructive, entertaining and often humorous book, Gary Cox,
best-selling author of How to Be an Existentialist and How to Be a
Philosopher, investigates the phenomenon of goodness and what, if
anything, it is to be a good person and a paragon of virtue. Part
easygoing exploration of the age-old subject of moral philosophy,
part personal development and improvement manual, How to Be Good
carefully leads you on a fascinating journey through the often
strange and surprising world of ethics, with ideas from Aristotle,
Kant, Nietzsche and a host of other moral philosophers.
