Reviews

The great value of this thought-provoking book is neither strictly biographical nor ethical, but methodological...By investigating the life of a real human being whose disappointments, ecstasies and aporias were all his own, we are reminded that the true topic of ethics, a human life and how to live it well, is better served by examining a life in its fullness, in all its complexity and apparent contradiction, than the sparse and faceless thought experiments we usually encounter. * Times Literary Supplement *
