Description:
Natural Goodness is the long-awaited exposition of a highly original approach to moral philosophy, representing a fundamental break away from the assumptions of recent debates. Foot challenges many prominent philosophical arguments and attitudes; hers is not, however, a work of dry theory, but full of life and feeling, written for anyone intrigued by the deepest questions about goodness and human life. This beautifully written book offers a new beginning for moral philosophy.

'A short and beautifully pellucid philosophical study'
Times Literary Supplement
'Philippa Foot's approach represents a fundamental break from the assumptions of recent debates,
challenges prominent arguments about 'goodness' and human life, and argues that moral goodness should be understood as the natural flourishing of humans as living beings.'
