Philip Pettit offers a new insight into moral psychology. He shows that attachments such as love, and certain virtues such as honesty, require their characteristic behaviours not only as things actually are, but also in cases where things are different from how they actually are. He explores the implications of this idea for key moral issues.

Robbie Arrell, Australasian Journal of Philosophy Bristling with characteristic style, Pettit's book develps a novel and nuanced account of robustly demanding goods.

S. A. Mason, CHOICE Known for his cutting-edge work in social and political theory, Pettit (Princeton and Australian National Univ.) presents a superbly articulated, fine-grained, and timely account of ethics whose "first demand" is to cherish the quality of life and relationships... Essential.

Paul Hurley, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online The rich, comprehensive view Pettit develops in this volume will more than repay engagement by philosophers working in normative ethics, and metaethics, and the theory of action.
