Starting from the question of how to live well in a secular society, A. C. Grayling reviews various ethical proposals from history: the heroic ideals of the Greeks, Saint Paul's ideas on sin and human nature, Kant's theories of freedom, and the UN Declaration of Human Rights.
The full title on the cover includes the subtitle «The Search for the Best Way to Live». Originally published in 2003, this edition is from 2004.
An accessible essay aimed at general readers interested in ethics and life's big questions, without requiring prior philosophical training.
