In this book, John Kekes discusses the hard questions we all must face in the course of our lives. How should we respond to evil? Do we owe what our country asks of us? Does it make us better to be ashamed of what we have done? Is it always good to be true to who we are? Do good intentions justify bad actions? John Kekes argues that such questions are hard because reasonable answers to them often conflict. He shows how their conflicts can be resolved and how we can best cope with these problems.
