  • Writing with wit and elegance, Simon Blackburn tackles the basic questions of ethics in this lively book, highlighting the complications and troubling issues that spring from the very simple question of how we ought to live. Blackburn dissects the many common reasons for why we are skeptical about ethics. Drawing on examples from history, politics, religion and everyday personal experience, he shows how cynicism and self-consciousness can paralyze us into considering ethics a hopeless pursuit. He assures us that ethics is neither futile nor irrelevant, but an intimate part of the most important issues of living--of birth, death, happiness, desire, freedom, pleasure, and justice. Indeed, from moral dilemmas about abortion and euthanasia, to our obsession with personal rights, to our longing for a sense of meaning in life, our everyday struggles are rife with ethical issues. Blackburn distills the arguments of Hume, Kant and Aristotle down to their essences, to underscore the timeless relevance of our voice of conscience, the pitfalls of complacency, and our concerns about truth, knowledge and human progress.Blackburn's rare combination of depth, rigor, and sparkling prose, along with his distinguished ranking among contemporary philosophers, mark Being Good as an important statement on our current disenchantment with ethics. It challenges us to take a more thoughtful reading of our ethical climate and to ponder more carefully our own standards of behavior.

Ethics & Morality Editorial Review

**** "Being Good: A Short Introduction to Ethics" by Simon Blackburn is a thoughtfully crafted book that appeals to both the curious layperson and those contemplating a philosophical education. The author artfully navigates the complex terrain of ethics by presenting a broad yet succinct overview of key ethical concepts, historical perspectives, and philosophical viewpoints. The structure of the book—divided into three clear sections—facilitates a logical progression that helps readers build a foundational understanding of ethics from its threats to its core ideas and foundations. Readers praise the book for its accessible writing style, which avoids heavy jargon, making it approachable for individuals without a formal background in philosophy. Many find that Blackburn's informal tone draws them into the material, encouraging contemplation on profound ethical questions. While the book resonates with many due to its engaging content and coherent organization, some criticisms have been raised regarding the author's treatment of feminism and religion, as well as perceived biases in the comparison of ethical frameworks. The author’s discussions on contemporary issues, such as the ethics of abortion, are noted for their neutrality, with Blackburn refraining from pushing his personal ideology while inviting readers to reflect on their ethical stances. Furthermore, though the book does a commendable job of summarizing diverse ethical theories and the history surrounding them, there are concerns about an overreliance on Christian perspectives, which may detract from the inclusiveness of ethical discourse. Overall, "Being Good" serves as an engaging primer for those seeking insight into ethical philosophy, despite some noted shortcomings in balanced representation of certain topics. **
