This stimulating collection of essays in ethics eschews the simple
exposition and refinement of abstract theories. Rather, the author
focuses on everyday moral issues, often neglected by philosophers,
and explores the deeper theoretical questions which they raise.
Such issues are: is it wrong to tell a lie to protect someone from
a painful truth? Should one commit a lesser evil to prevent another
from doing something worse? Can one be both autonomous and
compassionate? Other topics discussed are servility, weakness of
will, suicide, obligations to oneself, snobbery, and environmental
concerns. A feature of the collection is the contrast of Kantian
and utilitarian answers to these problems. The essays are crisply
and lucidly written and will appeal to both teachers and students
of philosophy.
