The Reason of Things
A C Grayling
A collection of essays on such diverse subjects as Capital
Punishment, Morality, Religion and Reading. He also gives sound
reasons for being a vegetarian. Doreen likes him because he
agrees with her/she agrees with him. And he writes well.

Many of these philosophical essays draw on the author's own
experience. They are direct and straightforward, an easy read.
It's a modern philosophy primer. Most of the things he deals with
I've already dealt with myself and I agree with him. However, I
wonder if I'd feel the same if I'd grown up on a council estate
and a brother hooked on heroin.
