What makes someone good or evil? And why do people sometimes act against their own moral values?

Introduced by Rory Stewart, this thought-provoking collection explores the ideas of twelve influential philosophers, examining morality, human behaviour, and the choices that shape our lives.

Through essays written by leading experts, discover perspectives ranging from Hannah Arendt's exploration of evil and Nietzsche's views on suffering to John Stuart Mill's philosophy of happiness and Machiavelli's understanding of power.

Accessible and engaging, this collection offers fresh insights into some of philosophy's biggest questions and encourages readers to reflect on their own beliefs and values.

Perfect for philosophy enthusiasts and curious readers interested in ethics, psychology, and understanding human nature.
