Description
Terry Eagleton's major new book explores the question of ethics with wit and eloquence. He examines key ethical theories through the framework of Jacques Lacan's categories, measuring them against socialism and the Judaeo-Christian tradition. Eagleton engages with the modern European tradition of thought about ethics, bringing together personal and political ethics to make a passionate case for political love. This book is a thought-provoking investigation into the nature of ethics, covering topics from tragedy to literature and morality.
