Morality still matters, argues philosopher Roger Trigg, in this accessible introduction to moral thinking.
Written for general readers with no background in philosophy.
Argues that we need a shared moral vision in order to live together, both nationally and internationally.
Considers the need for a shared morality in relation to subjects of vital importance such as human rights.
Stresses that private behaviour cannot be kept separate from public choices.
Discusses matters of topical debate on both sides of the Atlantic.
Roger Trigg is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Warwick and was the Founding Chairman of the British Philosophical Association.
