Absolutely. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this bracing book, the eminent Dutch philosopher Andreas Kinneging turns fashionable thinking on its head, revealing how good and evil are objective, universal, and unchanging--and how they must be rediscovered in our age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn mapping the geography of good and evil, Kinneging reclaims, and reintroduces us to, the great tradition of ancient and Christian thought. Traditional wisdom enables us to address the eternal questions of good and evil that confront us in both public and private life. Though it is common to accept uncritically the blessings of modernity and its intellectual sources, the Enlightenment and Romanticism, Kinneging shows that traditional thinking is richer and more realistic. Indeed, we see how, in more than a few respects, the Enlightenment and Romanticism brought not progress but deterioration. Kinneging skillfully reformulates and defends the insights of traditional thinking for today's readers, demonstrating how an objective morality is to be understood and how we can know what morality demands of us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt a time when the traditional virtues have practically disappeared from our language (that is, all but one--\"tolerance\"), he lays out the foundations of virtue and vice. Ultimately, Kinneging reveals the lasting significance of these seemingly archaic notions--to our own lives, to our families, to our culture, and to civilization. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis profound, award-winning work establishes Andreas Kinneging as one of our wisest moral philosophers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndreas Kinneging\u003c\/b\u003e holds the Chair in Legal Philosophy at the Law Faculty of the University of Leiden (Netherlands).
