Description of  Hard Questions: Facing the Problems of Life

"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 reasonable answers to them conflicting. The aim of this book is to show how hard questions can be reasonably answered"
