A Preface to Morality
Nearly all writers on morality, including philosophers, have had something to sell-if only a partisan picture of what morality is. In this book the author sets out to examine and clarify the nature of morality from a strictly neutral standpoint and what kinds of virtues are required to do well in morality. As against those who associate morality primarily with action and will-power, he sees it more Platonically, as a matter of mental health and the ability to love. These notions are explored with philosophical rigor and a proper regard for ordinary language, beginning with the meaning of 'moral,' considering the question of why we should care for others, and concluding with an account of the importance of love and personal relationships.
