Summary, etc. With a new foreword by Jonathan Lear<br/><br/>'Remarkably lively and enjoyable…It is a very rich book, containing excellent descriptions of a variety of moral theories, and innumerable and often witty observations on topics encountered on the way.' - Times Literary Supplement<br/><br/>Bernard Williams was one of the greatest philosophers of his generation.
