Review from previous edition Simon Blackburn's short book takes the big moral questions head on and does so brilliantly... a witty, vivid writer with an enviable popular touch ... this is a wonderfully enlightening book. Ben Rogers, Sunday Telegraph, March 25 2001 full of good sense Sunday Times 21/04/2002 But for anyone wondering how big questions have bothered us over the years, this witty, rigorous book fills in the gaps. PLAY, The Times, 02/03/2002 always lively and never simplistic Waterstone's Quarterly January 2002 Good clearheaded stuff Ted Honderich Times 21/03/01 'enjoyable and extremely readable ... Blackburn ... is breezy, helpful, reassuring' The Philosopher's Magazine 'sparklingly clear' Guardian 'a first rate and accessible guide which tackles the huge, perpetual questions' Nottingham Evaning Post
