Sophie Grace Chappell develops a picture of what philosophical ethics can be like, once set aside from conventional moral theory. His question is 'How are we to know what to do?', and the answer he defends is 'By developing our moral imaginations'--a key part of human excellence, which plays many roles in our practical and evaluative lives. [M]akes available in the context of contemporary debates a version of ethics which could deliver the discipline from the tyranny of theory... Imagination plays a large role in Chappell's own presentation, and this is one of the many delights for the reader.... If knowing what to do, knowing what is required to live well, is a real concern of yours, then this book is a valuable asset for your search. It should lead to a revision of the teaching of ethics in higher education.
