Living Without Philosophy

Arguing against the necessity of ethical theories, the book posits that moral decisions can be made through careful consideration of specific circumstances. It emphasizes fair deliberation when judgments differ. The author supports this view with philosophical arguments and literary analyses, featuring works from Plato, the Gospels, Dante, and more, illustrating moral theorists as characters. Ultimately, it presents a moral case for the humanities, exploring its impact on ethics, theology, law, politics, and education.
