This volume contains selected essays in moral and political
philosophy by Thomas Hurka. The essays address a wide variety of
topics, from the well-rounded life and the value of playing games
to proportionality in war and the ethics of nationalism. They also
share a common aim: to illuminate the surprising richness and
subtlety of our everyday moral thought by revealing its underlying
structure, which they often do by representing that structure on
graphs. More specifically, the essays all give what the first in
the volume calls "structural" as against "foundational" analyses of
moral views. Eschewing the grander ambition of grounding our ideas
about, say, virtue or desert in claims that use different concepts
and concern some other, allegedly more fundamental topic, they
examine these ideas in their own right and with close attention to
their details. As well as illuminating their individual topics, the
essays illustrate the insights this structural method can yield.
