Desires, Right and Wrong: The Ethics of Enough

About this book

What is moral in the modern age? What is truly ethical ? Adler skillfully separates real good from apparent good, and shows how excesses like gluttony, or the lust for power simply mistake the means for the ends. Drawing on the entire Western philosophical tradition, he tackles (and solves) some of the thorniest ethical problems facing the world today. This clear and straightforward book is geared toward the lay reader rather than the philosophy student.
