Presenting ten diverse and original moral paradoxes, this book talks about some of our deepest moral views. It asks whether the existence of moral paradox is damaging or beneficial, and explores what paradoxicality can teach us about morality and life. It presents analytic moral philosophy; poses new questions, and proposes possible solutions.

Concise and provocative, "10 Moral Paradoxes" presents analytic moral philosophy in an engaging way; posing new questions, proposing possible solutions, and challenging the reader to wrestle with the paradoxes.
