  • The Evil Within. Why We Need Moral Philosophy. Oxford University Press, 2018. 296p. Hardback. Jeske (Univ. of Iowa) argues that everyone, not just philosophers, should learn the art or practice of self-critical moral philosophy. To succeed in this often-painful task is, among other things, to become more honest, more sympathetic, and less complacent ... Wearing its learning lightly, the book can be profitably read by a wide audience. Theoretical positions and distinctions become of more than abstract interest in the light of the case studies. Jeske writes clearly with a minimum of jargon. She provides the right amount of detail to explain the most important controversies, and she also points to arguments that more thorough discussions of these controversies would need to explore.
