How many times do we hear the statement 'It's not for me to judge'? It conveys one of the most popular ideas of our time: that to make judgements of others is essentially wrong. In this classic text, the renowned moral philosopher Mary Midgely turns a spotlight on the ever popular stance in society that we should not make moral judgements on others. Guiding the reader through the diverse approaches to this complex subject, she interrogates our strong beliefs about such things as the value of freedom that underlie our scepticism about making moral judgements. She shows how the question of whether or not we can make these judgements must inevitably affect our attitudes not only to the law and its institutions but also to events that occur in our daily lives, and suggests that mistrust of moral judgements may be making life even harder for us than it would be otherwise. The texts and philosophers discussed range from Nietzsche and Sartre to P.D. James and the Bhagavad Gita. The Bloomsbury Revelations edition includes a new preface from the author.

Book Description

In this book, Mary Midgely turns a spotlight on the fashionable view that we no longer need or use moral judgements. She shows how the question of whether or not we can make moral judgements must inevitably affect our attitudes to the law and its institutions, but also to events that occur in our daily lives.

An Incredible Value

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 7, 2008

Verified Purchase

In 150 pages Midgley fills in the moral morass of postmodern relativism and argues for COMMON sense, and a common morality, in an airtight, beautiful exposition that is among the most superb documents ever penned by a human being. If you are tired of Deleuze and Foucault, Lacan and Neitzsche, and want to read a human being who is more brilliant than any of these and yet still cares abou the world, this tiny volume will do much to light the way to a better life and better way of thinking for you. Don't miss it!

Midgley the mighty!
