Goodness needs defining before it can be pursued, and Palmer devotes an entire book to the definition. From goods of function to goods of person, chapter by chapter he works toward what makes anything, and anyone, good at all. Harvard lecture-room philosophy in famously graceful prose. Fundamentals, beautifully handled.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
