Reviews
‘In Making Sense of Humanity, Williams takes his scapel and sets about slicing morality’s jugular: free will, blame, moral responsibility, the ability of everone to do the right thing, and the possibility of a theoretical justification for being good. His attack seems to me to be alarmingly convincing.’Spectator, 'A treat: civilised, sharp discussions of serious issues, spiked with asides which are deep, funny and sometimes both' Onora O'Neill, Times Higher Education Supplement, "Any sensitive reader will be struck by the force of Williams's vision and the eloquence with which it is expressed." Samuel Scheffler, Times Literary Supplement, ‘A treat: civilised, sharp discussions of serious issues, spiked with asides which are deep, funny and sometimes both’Onora O’Neill, Times Higher Education Supplement, "Bernard Williams is the most prominent writer on ethics among living British philosophers, and this collection of articles shows the unfailing clarity and penetration which inform his style. At their best they provide valuable additions to the repertoire of moral thinking offered in Ethics and the Limits of Philosophy and Moral Luck." TWM, 'In Making Sense of Humanity, Williams takes his scapel and sets about slicing morality's jugular: free will, blame, moral responsibility, the ability of everone to do the right thing, and the possibility of a theoretical justification for being good. His attack seems to me to be alarmingly convincing.' Spectator, "...these essays contain much which shows Williams' distinctive strengths, including his formidable analytic skills and his sensitivity to the complexities of lived experience. His discussion of the ambiguities of blame and responsibility, also found in the first section of the book, offers a fine example of the careful, nuanced reflection which has made Williams such an important figure in contemporary thought."
