Explores how our day to day dilemmas may fit into the wider context of the big moral issues. Drawing on a range of thinkers from the past, the book explores the way such practical questions of behaviour have been approached in past centuries. This provides the modern reader with a framework of reference to get their bearings and begin to develop a personal response to the task of 'doing the right thing'. The book covers questions such as What is fairness?, Should I always tell the truth?, What are the moralities of war?, What are my ecological responsibilities to the planet? and Is the good bound to win in the end?

'Should I take the car today or use public transport?' News headlines about global warming are turning this from a question of personal preference into a 'moral' question, with the result that this morning's small personal dilemma becomes a huge issue in my mind. The Good, the Bad and the Moral Dilemma is a practical manual that seeks to make the knotty questions of life more manageable. It reassures us that the demands of the modern world are for the most part not new but perennial questions that have been wrestled with repeatedly for centuries.
