Book Synopsis Desires, Right and Wrong by : Mortimer Jerome Adler
Book excerpt: What is "moral" in the modern age? What is truly "ethical"? Adler skillfully separates "real" good from "apparent" good, and shows how excesses--like gluttony, or the lust for power--simply mistake the means for the ends. Drawing on the entire Western philosophical tradition, he tackles (and solves) some of the thorniest ethical problems facing the world today. This clear and straightforward book is geared toward the lay reader rather than the philosophy student.
