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.
