The Variety of Values: Essays on Morality, Meaning, and Love by Susan R. Wolf

jeremiah's review

For whatever positivist reason, analytic philosophers have spent most of their time examining questions concerning language, logic, and mind rather than questions concerning humanity and practical life. Sure, things have changed now, but not without Wolf's groundbreaking work. In my view, Wolf is one of the greatest philosophers to have shown that the analytic tradition has been mistaken in its narrow focus and that there is so much more enriching work still to be done concerning, say, love, meaning in life, and the very point of morality itself.
