Commonplace Moraliser

Concerned with the general area of practical ethics, this work consists of seven independent and humorous philosophical analyses of common moral situations, occurrences and confrontations. The introduction discusses the idea of moralising. Cohen attempts to explain what it is; why moral philosophers tend to avoid it; and why it should be a worthwhile enterprise for a book. Throughout its discussions, this work aims to be accessible to readers at any stage of philosophical interest. The author emphasizes the distinction between moral encounters and more mundane concerns.
