"A fertile collection of papers, which supports the hope that current moral philosophy might break out of the specialised confines of narrow intellectual debate and recover its traditional role of coming to terms with the human condition in all its rich ethical and psychological complexity. The fascinating opening essay by Raimond Gaita, and many of the papers that follow, explore the interface between moral and religious thinking, and reach towards a more humane conception of philosophizing - one that takes us beyond abstract theorizing to the task of understanding what it would be to live in a more meaningful way." -- John Cottingham, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Reading, and Professorial Research Fellow, Heythrop College, University of London, UK.
