The Importance of What We Care About : Philosophical Essays

Review
"Harry Frankfurt is one of the great philosophers of our time. For those who lament that contemporary academic philosophy has become too technical and detached from basic questions of human meaning and value, this small, readable book is a breath of fresh air." Robert George, Princeton University, Princeton Alumni Weekly
