Delivered first as lectures at Harvard, Dartmouth, Wellesley and Berkeley, these chapters ask what we actually mean when we call a person or a thing good. Palmer separates the goodness of tools from the goodness of persons, clears away common misconceptions, and builds a picture of the moral life through self-consciousness, self-direction, self-development and self-sacrifice.
Lucid, unhurried moral philosophy from a celebrated Harvard teacher, written for thoughtful general readers. Download the free EPUB.
