"Oderberg writes clearly and with precision in a way that is
neither patronising, popularist, or difficult.... His is a serious
look at what's gone wrong in recent moral philosophy and at how we
ought to recast our theories. As such it offers no feel good John
Lennon 'Imagine' type view of the changed world. What it does
instead is to remind us of a strangely misplaced aim to morality,
that of living the good life, of simply being or trying to be a
good and whole person....This is a book that throws a new light in
a new direction on an old subject and as such should be widely read
by both those in the business of philosophy and, perhaps equally
importantly, by those outside the academic circles." Reviewed by
