"The hard questions are: Is there an absolute value? Must we conform? Do we owe what
our country asks of us? Is justice necessary? How should we respond to evil? Is it
right to forgive wrong actions? Is shame good? Should we be true to who we are? Do
good intentions justify bad actions? Should moral evaluations be overriding? These
questions are hard because each has several reasonable but conflicting answers. The
aim of this book is to show how hard questions can be reasonably answered"
