Moral Philosophy Done Right: Stimulating, Accessible,
By Philosopher-Esquire (Silver Spring, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living Philosophy (Paperback)
Too much contemporary analytic philosophy is sterile and dry, not merely bordering on the pointless but veering well into such territory. Christopher Hamilton's short book - really a collection of well-integrated essays - reflects the sophistication of someone who is aware of important developments in 20th century academic philosophy (e.g. Wittgenstein and the linguistic turn) and can let them inform his discussions of morality and the good life in a way that is refreshing, enlightening, and often entertaining. Hamilton looks frequently to literature and so-called 'contintental' philosophy for insights, and this is as it should be. For in saying all the interesting things he has to say on the various topics he takes up, Hamilton is also -- at least implicitly -- helping reveal a new and arguably better way of doing and writing (moral) philosophy.
