Synopsis
Arguing that the prevalence of evil presents a fundamental problem for our secular sensibility, John Kekes develops a conception of character-morality as a response. He shows that the main sources of evil are habitual, unchosen actions produced by our character defects and that we can increase our control over the evil we cause by cultivating a reflective temper.
Stephen Nathanson - Philosophy and Literature
[A] thoughtful, wide-ranging book . . . Every reader will find . . . numerous insights and interesting arguments.
