George Orwell: The Ethics of Equality is the first book written by a philosopher about George Orwell's philosophy, especially his ethics. Orwell is sometimes understood to be profoundly disinterested in philosophy, but he had much to say about philosophical matters, including humanism, the good life, free will and moral responsibility, equality, liberty, justice, and more. Peter Brian Barry examines all of Orwell's collected works, including his fiction, journalism, essays, book reviews, diaries, and correspondence to make the case for Orwell's relevance as a philosophical thinker.
