Personal Destinies A Philosophy of Ethical Individualism DAVID NORTON "Here is a very rich, very daring book, one that takes head-on the philosophers who evade the questions of life's meaning, evaluates those in minority movements (like existentialism) who have stayed with the subject, and then presents the author's own view, as old as the Greeks and as fresh as the decision you next have to make.... Heartily recommended."—The Christian Century "One is hardpressed to think of any other recent or near-recent book that is scholarly yet speaks to laymen so directly, accessibly, and as a great bonus, beautifully. ... Because of its personal relevance and Norton's comfort with words, Personal Destinies rewards the care it requires with enormous pleasure—with elation, even."- Reason Cloth: ISBN 0-691-07215-9. Paper: ISBN 0-691-01975-4. 398 pages. 1976. Immorality RONALD D. MILO "There is no comparable systematic full-scale treatment of this topic in this century."—Kurt Baier, University of Pittsburgh This book explores a much-neglected area of moral philosophy— the typology of immorality. Ronald Milo questions the adequacy of Aristotle's suggestion that there are two basic types of immorality- wickedness and moral weakness-and argues that we must distin- guish between at least six different types of immoral behavior. "Milo is acute and clear-headed, and displays a good deal of power and insight. This is the first book-length discussion of all the kinds of immorality. Previous works have limited their concern to Aristotle, but this one, though it takes off from Aristotle, breaks free at once into a full systematic discussion." -William K.
