| adam_text | For over thirty years Susan Wolf has been wri
values and the relation between them. This volume collects Wolf s most important
“Moral Saints” to her most recent “The Importance of Love.”
Wolf’s essays warn us against the common tendency to classify values in terms
of a dichotomy that contrasts the personal, self-interested, or egoistic with the
impersonal, altruistic, or moral. In Wolf’s view, this tendency ignores or distorts the
significance of such values as love, beauty, and truth, and neglects the importance
of meaningfulness as a dimension of the good life. These essays show us how a
self-conscious recognition of the variety of values leads to new understandings of
the point, the content, and the limits of morality and to new ways of thinking about
happiness and well-being.
essays on the topics of morality, love, and meaning, ranging from her classic essay
