""Being Good" is an excellent introduction to philosophical ethics. Blackburn's writing sparkles with wit. This is no dry philosophy text but a lively discussion of the relationship between being good and living well. It is accessible, entertaining and very intructive. Highly recommended."
"When I got to the 'joke' about the priest who presented the Truth about eternal life and the promise of salvation and it was received as, "Wow, terrific, if that works for you that's great." on page 26 I knew I didn't need this kind of book on ethics, especially since his witness was used as the butt of the joke and a relativist claim to authority. According to Blackburn, 'The moral is that once a relativist frame of mind is really in place, nothing--no claims to truth, authority, certainty, or necessity--will be audible except as one more saying like all the others.'
