The choice of Hercules2007

Grayling extends the range of his previous three books to show how much understanding people can gain about themselves and their world by reflecting on the challenges of duty versus pleasure in the modern world. Anthony Grayling illustrates in his celebrated accessible prose what each challenge offers to thought, using Hercules' famous dilemma 'Duty or Pleasure?' as his cornerstone.
