Heart and Mind: The Varieties of Moral Experience

Description

With a new introduction by the author. It is a book of superb spirit and style, more entertaining than a work of philosophy has any right to be.' - Times Literary Supplement. 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? In clear, entertaining prose Mary Midgley takes us to the heart of the matter: the human experience that is central to all decision-making. First published: 1983.
