An Incredible Value,
By Bob Swain "Seattle" (Seattle) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Can't We Make Moral Judgements? (Paperback)
In 150 pages Midgley fills in the moral morass of postmodern relativism and argues for COMMON sense, and a common morality, in an airtight, beautiful exposition that is among the most superb documents ever penned by a human being. If you are tired of Deleuze and Foucault, Lacan and Neitzsche, and want to read a human being who is more brilliant than any of these and yet still cares abou the world, this tiny volume will do much to light the way to a better life and better way of thinking for you. Don't miss it!
Midgley the mighty!
