[Tim LeBon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Don't be put off by the "atheist" in the title.
This was a lecture series on the late 50s/60s given by Oxford don Richard Robinson.
It's for anyone interested seriously in the good life and how to live it.
Some of it's a little dated now, but it's well worth a read.
I write about this book in an article for The Philosophers Magazine (see http://www.timlebon.com/atheistsvalue...)

I've finally completed a careful reading of this book. Very clear, sensible, rational and persuasive defense of liberal and enlightenment values. The discussion of Personal Goods is especially worthwhile. One can only hope that these lessons become widely known and widely adopted.
