内容简介 在线阅读本书

Throughout our lives we are making moral choices. Some decisions simply direct our everyday comings and goings; others affect our individual destinies. How do we make those choices? Where does our sense of right and wrong come from, and how can we make more informed decisions? Mary Midgley offers us an optimistic and holistic view of what it means to be human, acknowledging the complex interconnections of emotion and intellect while presenting us with the freedom to be ourselves. The author has written a new preface for this edition.
作者简介 Mary Midgley (1919-). A philosopher with a special interest in ethics, human nature, and science, Mary Midgley has a widespread international following for her work.
编辑推荐 Review
'It is a book of superb spirit and style, more entertaining than a work of philosophy has any right to be.' - The Times Literary Supplement 'This is not the usual introduction to moral philosophy, but an invitation to think about the issues. Mary Midgley clearly belongs among those who believe that there are facts, facts of human nature, which have to be the starting-point for any adequate account of human morality. It deserves to be read and remembered well beyond the narrow ranks of the professional philosophers.' - The Times Literary Supplement - 'A genuine contribution to the problems of moral philosophy. These essays emphasize the essential unity of human beings, and make a plea for an interdisciplinary approach to the study of moral philosophy and moral psychology. It is a welcome antidote to the abstract and general ideas (not to mention the pseudotechnicalities) which bedevil much modern moral philosophy.' - British Book News -

'Midgley is a very friendly and cultured philosopher, always ready to quote Byron or imagine aliens, and like all good philosophy this is interesting and provocative even if one doesn't agree with it.' - The Guardian
