Аннотация
We’re going to ask questions about what to do in certain situations, and attempt to answer them using some ideas that are 2,400 years old and some that were proposed basically yesterday. We’ll start off easy, to introduce those ideas—what they say, what they ask of us, how they claim to make us better people if we follow them. Then we’ll ramp things up, applying what we’ve learned to more gnarly and tangled issues, introducing new ideas along the way. And by the time this book is done, we will know exactly how to act in every conceivable situation, so as to produce a verifiably maximal amount of moral good. We will be perfect. People will gaze upon us with awe and admiration. All our friends will be so jealous.
I’m just kidding—we’re still gonna fail all the time. But again, that’s okay! So, let’s start failing. Or, in the words of Samuel Beckett:
Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
