This essay is the product of years of distaste for, and
dissatisfaction with, the efforts of moral philosophers. It can be
tiresome to attend to details, to spell out the obvious, but moral
philosophy is such an abysmally difficult subject that faster than
a creeping slug is breakneck reckless speed. One simply must
content oneself with a slow slimy trail painfully drawn and
cautiously constrained. Generally speaking, philosophy, and, in
particular, moral philosophy, is too hard fot philosophers. Even
though publishing is spitting in the ocean, and even though my sour
sweet spittle will not alter the ocean's salinity, I am somehow
inclined to publish this essay. Acknowledgments: I began this essay
in 1956. During the years, I have discussed many of the topics in
this volume with a great many philosophers. I am indebted to all of
them, especially those with whom I disagreed and those who
disagreed with me. One learns nothing from agreement, whereas
disagreement provokes one to look more closely and more carefully
at what is at issue: if a philosopher is to profit from discussion,
someone must be disagreeable.
