Realism, ethics and secularism

Аннотация

Goodness is truth, truth goodness. It is a very Victorian notion, and it runs deep. But it also runs into trouble very quickly. Looking at the Victorians from the perspective of this idea turns out to have been my life’s work, although I wasn’t always aware of it. And it did so, I now realize, because the idea resonates into our own moment and reverberates quite personally for many of us.
