HOW TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS AND BE RIGHT ALL THE TIME: SOLVING THE RIDDLE OF RIGHT AND WRONG
Book ID/图书代码: 12771008B28851
English Summary/英文概要: How to Make Good Decisions and Be Right All the Time offers a compelling and jargon-free guide to ethical thinking for everyday life.
Iain King presents an introduction to moral philosophy from the ancient Greeks to the Enlightenment and beyond. He argues that right and wrong need a Newtonian revolution so they are no longer a matter of judgment or guesswork, and presents a system of simple formulas for solving difficult moral quandaries. Clearly argued, the book combines new ideas with old and rips apart traditional tenets of morality, dismantling even the golden rule that you should ‘do unto others as you would have done unto you’. In their place, the author constructs a new, comprehensive system of ethics, identifying the basic DNA of right and wrong and offering clear advice on how to be good in today’s complicated and challenging world.
In places controversial and thoroughly engaging throughout, How to Make Good Decisions and Be Right All the Time is required reading for anyone with a difficult decision to make.

Anyone with an interest in practical answers to moral questions will find this book of interest too.’---James Garvey, The Royal Institute of Philosophy, UK "...If your focus leaflets are starting to get soggy and you’re frustrated with BBC political reporting, this book could be the perfect antidote for you – a reminder that there probably are deep moral truths out there and there is a reason to try to do what’s right...This may well become a classic; it’s certainly a good read, and definitely makes you think."---Liberal Democrat News
